EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Joseph Marie Jacquard (1752-1834), a renowned French inventor and weaver from Lyon, captured by the skilled brushstrokes of Michel-Marie Carquillat in 1839. Jacquard is best known for his groundbreaking invention, the Jacquard loom, which revolutionized the textile industry in Europe and beyond. The invention enabled intricate designs and patterns to be woven into textiles using punch cards, a significant advancement from traditional weaving methods. Carquillat masterfully portrays Jacquard in a formal setting, seated with a serious expression, dressed in the attire of a successful businessman and inventor. The artist expertly employs a rich color palette, with Jacquard's coat and waistcoat showcasing a vibrant, textured fabric, likely a silk plain weave with secondary binding warps patterning wefts and self-patterning ground wefts. The intricacy of the fabric serves as a fitting tribute to Jacquard's own inventive spirit. The portrait is a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the 19th century in Europe. It is a valuable addition to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed among other masterpieces of European art. The painting is a reminder of the significant impact Jacquard's invention had on the textile industry and the world at large, paving the way for advancements in technology and design. Michel-Marie Carquillat, a contemporary of Jacquard, expertly captured the essence of the inventor's character and legacy in this stunning portrait. The painting is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of textiles, art, and the scientific innovations of the 19th century.
