Madame Charles Maurice de Talleyrand Périgord (1761-1835) ca. 1804 baron François Gérard French Gérard, a student of David, was official painter to Empress Joséphine; the sitter was a celebrated beauty, captured in Vigée Lebruns youthful portrait from 1783, also at The Met. In 1802, her affair with the statesman Talleyrand was sufficiently scandalous that Napoleon demanded they marry; neither was particularly faithful, however, and, by the time this portrait was painted two years later, they had separated. Thus, this is not a pendant to The Mets two portraits of Talleyrand. Gérards brush revels in details of the highly fashionable interior: contrasting sun and fire light from the novel chimney installed beneath a window, the diaphanous dress, and the paisley shawl—a modish accessory, but also a nod to the sitters birth near Pondicherry, in colonial India.. Madame Charles Maurice de Talleyrand Périgord (1761-1835). baron François Gérard (French, Rome 1770-1837 Paris). ca. 1804. Oil
