EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Mademoiselle de Barral as Diana" takes us back to the early 18th century. Painted by Nicolas de Largilliere in 1714, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 135x108 cm and is currently housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Pau, France. The subject of the painting is Mademoiselle de Barral, who is portrayed as Diana, the Roman goddess of hunting and childbirth. Standing three-quarter length with an air of confidence and grace, she embodies the essence of femininity and power. Dressed in a leopard skin garment and holding a bow in one hand while resting her other hand on a loyal dog by her side, she exudes strength and authority. Largilliere's attention to detail shines through in every brushstroke - from the intricate folds of fabric to the delicate features on Mademoiselle de Barral's face. The artist captures her beauty flawlessly while also emphasizing her connection to nature with a crescent moon adorning her headpiece. This portrait not only showcases Largilliere's exceptional talent but also serves as a testament to society during that time period. It reflects both the fascination with mythology and women's roles within it. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are transported back centuries ago when art was used not only for aesthetic pleasure but also as a means to convey societal ideals and aspirations.
