EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic gaze of Joseph Marie Jacquard (1752-1834), a pioneering figure in the world of textiles from Lyon, France, during the 19th century. Painted by Michel-Marie Carquillat (1797-1873), this masterpiece showcases Jacquard's distinguished character and intellectual curiosity. The portrait is a testament to Carquillat's exceptional artistic skills, with intricate details that bring the subject to life. Jacquard's innovative contributions to the textile industry are encapsulated in his invention of the Jacquard loom, a mechanical device that revolutionized the weaving process. This invention enabled the creation of complex patterns and designs, paving the way for the mass production of intricate textiles. The portrait depicts Jacquard in a seated position, dressed in formal attire, with a thoughtful expression on his face. The background is plain, allowing the focus to remain on the subject. The artist employed a silk warp-faced weft ribbed plain weave with plain interlacings of secondary binding warps, supplementary patterning wefts, and self-patterning ground wefts for the portrait's fabric. This stunning artwork is a significant addition to any art collection, showcasing the rich heritage of European art and the pivotal role of textiles in history. The portrait is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
