Modern Virgins - A Glimpse into 18th Century Femininity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the exquisite painting "Modern Virgins" by Jean Raoux, a renowned French artist from the 18th century. Created in 1728, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 0.56 x 0.40m and is currently housed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Lille, France. Raoux's painting depicts two young women dressed elegantly in period costumes, engrossed in their own worlds. One of them is immersed in a book, while the other delicately holds a flower close to her heart. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of paint captures the essence of these modern virgins. The setting reveals an opulent palace with intricate architecture and crockery adorning its surroundings. Symbolizing wealth and nobility, it serves as a backdrop for these maidens who embody femininity and purity. Interestingly, amidst this grandeur lies an element that challenges traditional notions - trash scattered on the floor symbolizes domestic stains or imperfections that are often overlooked within noble households. Jean Raoux masterfully portrays both beauty and complexity through his artistry. This print allows us to appreciate not only his skillful technique but also provides insight into societal norms during that era. Step back in time with this enchanting image capturing the essence of maidenhood, wealth, and womanhood intertwined within French society during the 18th century.
