EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edouard Manet's "Portrait of Jeanne Duval" painted in 1862. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures 90x113 cm and is housed at the Museum of Fine Arts (Szepmuveszeti) in Budapest, Hungary. Jeanne Duval was a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on art history. The portrait depicts Jeanne as a seated female figure, exuding elegance and grace. Her black hair, which became iconic and inspired Baudelaire's poem "La Chevelure" adds to her allure. As Charles Baudelaire's mistress, friend, lover, actress, and muse, she played a significant role in inspiring his poetry cycle "Les Fleurs du Mal". This painting specifically influenced the Venus Noire section of the collection. Jeanne Duval herself was a mulatto woman with striking beauty that captivated artists like Manet. Her presence symbolizes strength and resilience amidst societal prejudices during that era. This print not only captures the essence of this renowned artwork but also serves as a reminder of the power art holds to immortalize individuals who have made an impact on culture and creativity. It invites us to delve into the world of these influential figures from history while appreciating their contributions to literature and visual arts alike.
