A summer salon for a Paris society woman. The Neoclassical Pop Art tribute recasts a Neoclassical society portrait in primary Pop colour, making a new oil. Yellow and blue give the countess the confidence of a magazine cover.
“La Comtesse Néoclassique” is Neoclassical Pop Art's hand-painted Pop take on Jacques-Louis David's “Portrait of Anne Marie Louise Thélusson, Countess of Sorcy”, painted in 1790 and held at the Neue Pinakothek, Munich, Germany. Yellow and blue give the Paris sitter a summer-salon brightness.
Anne Marie was one of two sisters of the Geneva banker Jacques Rilliet. She married a Royal and enjoyed a privileged life providing her the opportunity to be painted by Jacques-Louis David, a preeminent French painter of the era.
Highly respected for leading the Neoclassical style, Jacques-Louis David completed a large number of portraits during his career of established figures from the upper classes and aristocracy producing some of the finest portrait paintings in the 18th and early 19th century.
Politically active during the French Revolution, he served as the art dictator of the French Republic and later served Napoleon developing Empire style. The Portrait of Anne Marie Louise Thélusson was commissioned decorating her mansion on the outskirts of Paris, makes a perfect piece to hang in a living room.
