EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning double portrait of Rene-Charles Dassy and his brother Jean-Baptiste-Claude-Amede Dassy, painted by the talented artist Hippolyte Flandrin in 1850. The brothers are depicted in their finest attire, proudly displaying their social status. On the left side of the painting stands Jean-Baptiste, a 23-year-old gentleman carrying gloves and a walking stick. His confident stance exudes elegance and sophistication. Meanwhile, on the right side stands Rene-Charles, aged 25, wearing an exquisite embroidered black velvet suit inspired by the A la Grec fashion trend popularized during Greece's war of independence. Flandrin's academic style shines through this masterpiece as he emphasizes precise lines over vibrant colors. This technique reflects his training under J. A. D Ingres, one of the most influential French neoclassical painters. The Leonard C. Hanna Jr. Fund at Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio is fortunate to house this remarkable artwork that captures not only the fashion trends but also provides insight into societal norms during the mid-19th century. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate every intricate detail - from their well-groomed moustaches and beards to their traditional costumes that epitomize timeless elegance. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and provide us with glimpses into history while celebrating beauty and craftsmanship.
