EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of an unknown Woman with Headdress" painted in 1812 by Vladimir Borovikovsky, offers a glimpse into the life of Anne Louise Germaine de Stael. A prominent French writer, novelist, and political propagandist, de Stael was born in Paris to Jacques Necker, a renowned French statesman and financier. Married unhappily to Erik Magnus Stael von Holstein, the Swedish ambassador to France in 1786, de Stael sought solace outside her marriage through numerous affairs. One notable liaison was with Benjamin Constant, an author and political philosopher. However, her ideas were seen as dangerous by First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte who ordered her expulsion from France. In search of intellectual freedom and inspiration for her writings, de Stael embarked on extensive travels throughout Europe. It was during this time that she arrived in St Petersburg in Russia where this enigmatic portrait was painted. The artist skillfully captures de Stael's elegance and intellect through his masterful use of color and composition. The headdress adorning her head adds an air of regality while the exquisite jewelry highlights her refined taste. Displayed at the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow since 1965 when it appeared in Vladimir Fiala's book "Russian Painting of the 18th and 19th Centuries" this portrait serves as a testament to both de Stael's enduring legacy as well as Borovikovsky's artistic prowess. Through this print we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history when art intersected with politics and literature flourished amidst turbulent times.
