EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite oil on canvas painting titled "Ange Laurent de La Live de Jully" by Jean Baptiste Greuze. The artwork, measuring 117x88.5 cm, is housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA. The subject of this portrait is Ange Laurent de La Live de Jully (1725-79), a prominent figure in the Parisian art world during the mid-18th century. Known for his influence as a collector and amateur painter, he was one of Greuze's earliest patrons. In this composition, Lalive de Jully is depicted seated on an elegant chair that he commissioned as part of a neoclassical furniture suite called A la grecque. The background reveals a portfolio of drawings and a statue of the Erythrean Sibyl, symbolizing Lalive's role as a modern-day Apollo and his unwavering support for the arts. His powdered wig and rococo dressing gown add to his distinguished appearance. Intriguingly, Lalive gazes directly at the viewer while skillfully playing a stringed harp with intense concentration. This portrayal captures both his passion for music and his influential position within French society. Greuze masterfully combines elements of neoclassicism and Rococo style to create an engaging portrait that immortalizes Ange Laurent de La Live de Jully's patronage and artistic contributions during this significant period in French history.
