Today I want
to share this beautiful portrait, painted by Jacques-Louis David, a famous
French artist of the neoclassical style.
The portrait is of Madamme Emile Sereziat, who was his sister in law and
he painted it 1795.
I got this copy as
a postcard of course; the original is at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.
According to
Wikipedia, on a fashion note, it shows the beginning of neo-classical trends in
women's attire.
Alphonse Maria Mucha is one of my favorite illustration artists; he was
born in the town of Ivančice, Moravia (the present Czech Republic). He was a
Czech painter and decorative artist, known best for his distinct style.
Today I post his French vintage perfume ad made circa
1900. The advertisement is for
"Bleuze-Hadancourt Parfumeur," in Paris.
I used one of his beautiful illustrations to decorate a round jewelry
box I posted sometime ago. You can see
the project HERE.
Have a great week,
Erika
