Louis-Félix Delarue Art
1730-1777
Louis-Félix Delarue was born on October 19th, 1730, in Paris. An elder brother of Philibert-Benoît de la Rue and a student of Lambert-Sigisbert Adam, Delarue was a draughtsman and sculptor. He was a quite eccentric artistic figure who had drawn his vision of mythology and ancient history in a pre-romantic mood, often pessimistic and desperate as if he had felt he was living in the last years of an historic era. Delarue won the Prix de Rome award in 1750 and obtained the certificate of student sculptor of the Academy of Rome in September 1754. He was admitted to the National Academy of San Luca, Rome, in 1760. Delarue passed away in Paris on June 24th, 1777.

Chinese Erotic Album Leaf, c. 1850
Located in Chicago, IL
Despite its explicit content, this intimate scene conveys a sense of tenderness and romantic love characteristic of Chinese erotic art. Known as “spring palace paintings,” these ink and watercolor illustrations imagined the sensual delights of courtly life.
Taken from an album of erotic paintings, this framed leaf departs from a tradition of depicting lovers in risqué outdoor settings by picturing an amorous coupling in a distinctly Qing-dynasty interior. The uniquely detailed surroundings shed light on the prevailing aesthetic tastes in decor and furniture of 19th-century China. Note the carved wooden headrest, blue and white censer...
