EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Louise-Elisabeth de France, as the element of Earth" is a masterpiece created by Jean-Marc Nattier in 1750-1. The painting, which measures 106x138 cm, can be found at the Museu de Arte in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Commissioned in 1749 to adorn the south wing of the palace of Versailles, this artwork is part of a set of four portraits depicting King Louis XV's daughters. Louise Elisabeth (1727-59), portrayed here as Madame l'Infante, was married to Infante Philip of Spain and held various titles throughout her life. In this Rococo-style piece, Nattier skillfully captures Louise-Elisabeth's regal beauty and grace. She stands against a picturesque landscape backdrop with symbolic elements that represent the earth. Holding a globe adorned with lush fruits and surrounded by verdant foliage, she embodies nature's abundance and fertility. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from Louise-Elisabeth's elegant gown to her delicate features illuminated by soft lighting. This portrait not only showcases Nattier's technical prowess but also reflects the opulence and refinement associated with French aristocracy during this period. As we gaze upon this exquisite print today, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment frozen on canvas – a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance.
