EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Marie Duplessis, a renowned French courtesan and mistress to numerous prominent men. The color lithograph, created by Edouard Vienot in the 19th century, beautifully captures her elegance and allure. Marie Duplessis was not only known for her stunning looks but also for being the inspiration behind Marguerite Gautier, the central character in Alexandre Dumas' famous novel "La Dame aux Camelias". This literary connection adds an intriguing layer to her already fascinating persona. The portrait depicts Marie with a floral corsage adorning her hair, perfectly reflecting her status as a symbol of French society during that era. The rococo-style frame further enhances the opulence surrounding this enigmatic figure. Surrounded by delicate roses and cherubs (putti), this image exudes both grace and sensuality. It offers us a glimpse into the world of literature where characters like Marie Duplessis come alive through their inspirations. As we admire this exquisite artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of Marie's impact on both historical records and contemporary legends.
