"Jeune Africaine" (Young African Woman) by Fernand Cormon (French) – Oil on canvas / c. 1895 – Musée des Beaux-Arts de Pau (Pau, France) #WomenInArt #FernandCormon #MuseeDesBeauxArtsDePau #MuséedesBeaux-Arts #1890sArt #FrenchArt #BlackWomenInArt #ArtoftheDay #PortraitofaWoman #art #artText #arte
French artist Fernand Cormon presents an intimate portrait of a young Black woman in profile, facing left against a softly painted, neutral background. Her dark hair is drawn back beneath a small, rounded hat of pink and beige tones. She wears a simple, light pink-ish garment with a row of buttons down the front and a dark, decorative brooch fastening the neckline. Her expression is quiet and thoughtful, her eyes directed away from us. Subtle variations of light across her face and neck give the portrait a lifelike presence, while the restrained composition places all attention on the woman herself. Cormon was a French academic painter who studied with Jean-François Portaels, Alexandre Cabanel, and Eugène Fromentin. He became known for dramatic historical paintings, prehistoric subjects, and works influenced by Orientalism. He also directed a prominent Paris studio where artists including Vincent van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse/Lautrec, and Henri Matisse received instruction. Believed to have been painted during Cormon's time in Tunisia, "Jeune Africaine" differs from his monumental works in its modest scale, restrained colors, and close attention to an individual sitter.  The woman's identity remains unknown. Cormon portrays her fully clothed, without elaborate surroundings or narrative accessories. Her composed posture and inward expression invite us to consider her as an individual rather than a symbol of an imagined African identity. The painting acquired renewed significance during the 2019 exhibition "Le Modèle noir, de Géricault à Matisse" (The Black Model, from Géricault to Matisse) at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Previously catalogued under the racially outdated French title "Jeune nègre," it is now known as "Jeune Africaine," reflecting efforts to reconsider the language used to describe Black subjects in art. The portrait offers an opportunity to reflect on the changing ways museums recognize and represent Black people in European art.

Louis Anquetin French, 1861-1932 An Elegant Woman at the Élysée Montmartre 1888 Oil on canvas After arriving in Paris in 1882, Louis Anquetin studied at the Atelier Cormon, where he met and befriended Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The frenetically innovative Anquetin was, in Lautrec's words, "the glory of the studio." Both artists focused on la vie moderne, particularly the nocturnal life of Paris. This painting depicts an unescorted woman-unusual at that time-walking through the garden of the Élysée Montmartre, a dance hall that predated the Moulin de la Galette and the Moulin Rouge (both represented in Lautrec paintings on view in this gallery). Who she is remains a mystery, but her unusual printed dress and extravagant hat, more costume than fashion, suggest that she might be an off-duty performer. In contrast to the female figures who lurk among the trees in the background, Anquetin's élégante appears at ease in the spotlight, not a visitor but a part of this popular entertainment spot.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec :
Portrait of Vincent van Gogh, 1887

pastel on cardboard
54.2 × 46 cm | 21.3 × 18 in

Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam
Toulouse-Lautrec had encountered Vincent van Gogh, 11 years his senior, when they were both taking lessons at the open studio (atelier libre) of Fernand Cormon in Paris from 1886 to 1887. This work is brightly colored Impressionist work, mainly of blues, oranges, and yellows. It portrays Van Gogh in early 1887, during the time he was living with his brother, Theo, in the Montmartre district of Paris. He is depicted in profile from the right, leaning forward at a table in a bar, with a glass of absinthe, as if in conversation, at Café du Tambourin on the Boulevard de Clichy. Van Gogh was rumoured to be having a love affair with the café's proprietor, Agostina Segatori. She had worked as an artists' model, and he painted her at least twice, including Agostina Segatori Sitting in the Café du Tambourin. Van Gogh had an arrangement to give artworks to Segatori when he was unable to pay his bills, and he put on an exhibition of his Japanese prints at the café. Their relationship ended acrimoniously when he asked for his early paintings of flowers to be returned.

Les pêcheurs de perles
Les pêcheurs de perles is an opera in three acts by the French composer Georges Bizet, to a libretto by Eugène Cormon and Michel Carré. It was premiered on 30 September 1863 at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris, and was given 18 performances in its initial run. Set in ancient times on the island of Ceylon, the opera tells the story of how two men's vow of eternal friendship is threatened by their love for the same woman, whose own dilemma is the conflict between secular love and her sacred oath as a priestess. The friendship duet "Au fond du temple saint", generally known as "The Pearl Fishers Duet", is one of the best-known in Western opera.
