Dress recreation • Credit: The Dreamstress. The blogger wore her Jeanne Samary dress to an Impressionist art exhibition. Notice the image on her fan.

Pierre Auguste Renoir (French, ) • Portrait of the actress Jeanne Samary (1857-1890) • 1878 • Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russia

I love this 1870s style of a formal dress and I'm always surprised by the skill and creativity of current-day seamstresses who not only recreate dresses worn by portrait subjects but also model the dresses at appropriate events. It makes me wish I could sew!

As much as I'm enjoying re-visiting 19th century fashion after many years, my main interest is still with the art itself and often, the people portrayed therein.

So, who was Jeanne Samary? She was a beautiful, young actress with the Comédie-Française, who caught Renoir's eye. Her ambition was to compete for dramatic roles such as those offered Sarah Bernhardt. These roles were better paying and more prestigious than comedy.

Renoir would eventually paint Jeanne a dozen or so times. Many of those paintings are now masterpieces of Impressionist art.
