Anne-Marie Joly'The wedding Dress', Large Scale French 1950s Society Portrait. Oil on Canvas.1955
1955
About the Item
A large scale 1950s French society portrait by Anne-Marie Joly. The painting is signed and dated bottom right. Presented in a magnificent carved wood and gesso Montparnasse frame.
A truly imposing and luxurious oil on canvas portrait of a society beauty. Joly has captured all the luxuriousness of the sitters sumptuous tulle dress and skirt, with its exquisite embroidered roses, billowing around her as she sits elegantly on a Louis XV silk covered sofa in a beautifully decorated salon. A true 'tour de force' very much of its time. The Dress suggests that it might possibly be a wedding portrait
Joly's style is very much to capture the character and 'feel' of the sitter and the setting with quick yet effective brushstrokes rather than super fine detail.
The sitter is as yet undiscovered but such a beautiful couture dress and surroundings suggests somebody of the 'beau monde' or aristocracy. It is very much in the tradition of paintings such as Giovanni Boldini's of Consuelo Vanderbilt, the duchess of Marlborough with her son Lord Ivor Spencer-Churchill, 1906 now in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, or the paintings of Philip de László and John Singer Sargent.
Anne-Marie Joly studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts et Academies Libre in Paris. She enjoyed considerable success during her lifetime and exhibited extensively winning many prizes including the Salons Nationale des Beaux-Arts, Independants, Terres Latines, Automne, Peinture a l'Eau and the union of Female Artists and Sculptors of which she was also vice president. Her awards included the Grand prix de la Ville de Paris in 1960, the Grand Prix de l'Union des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs, Prix Charles Cottet and Prix du salon Nu.
Included with the painting is a catalogue from one of her exhibitions in 1963.
