EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Madame Marie Therese Rodet Geoffrin, a prominent figure in 18th-century French society. Created by Charles Nicolas II Cochin in 1746, the artwork beautifully captures her elegance and charm. The use of red chalk on paper adds depth and texture to the image. Madame Geoffrin inherited the renowned salon of Madame De Tencin, becoming a central figure in intellectual circles during the Enlightenment period. Her salon attracted esteemed artists such as Boucher, La Tour, Fontenelle, Walpole, and Marivaux. This gathering of brilliant minds fostered lively discussions on various topics ranging from art to philosophy. In this portrait, Madame Geoffrin is depicted wearing a fashionable bonnet and exuding an air of sophistication befitting her high social status. She holds a watch in one hand symbolizing her punctuality as a gracious hostess while playing cards with the other hand alludes to her love for gambling. The inclusion of coins emphasizes her wealth and patronage towards artists and intellectuals alike. Known for being both generous and vivacious, she epitomized the spirit of "siecle des lumieres" or Age of Enlightenment. This print offers us a glimpse into an era where intellect thrived alongside opulence—a testament to Madame Geoffrin's influential role as both a supporter of arts and an arbiter of taste during this remarkable period in history.
