Allegory of Peace
Artist: John Francis Rigaud (French, 1742-1810)
Date: 1797
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Collection: Private Collection
In 1797 Rigaud was commissioned to paint four paintings depicting the allegories of Happiness, Innocence, Wisdom and Providence. The paintings were intended to be dedicated to King George III and Queen Charlotte for the celebration of the 40th anniversary of their reign. Rigaud produced the rectangular version of the allegories painted earlier for the angular corners between the arches under the dome of the Common Council Chamber at Guildhall in the City of London. In the rectangular version, the painter turned the Allegory of Happiness into a representation of peace.

Allegory of Peace
Artist: John Francis Rigaud (Italian (1742-1810)
Date: 1797
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Genre: Neoclassicism
Location: Private Collection
Description
The painting Allegory of Peace by artist John Francis Rigaud is a masterpiece of neoclassical art and is considered to be one of the artist’s greatest works.
The artistic style of the painting is typical of Neoclassicism, with a clear influence from ancient Greece and Rome. The composition of the painting is very balanced and symmetrical, with a central figure that is surrounded by other figures that symbolize peace and harmony.
The color used in the painting is very soft and delicate, with pastel tones that create an atmosphere of tranquility and serenity. The central figure, who represents peace, is dressed in a white and gold tunic that highlights her purity and divinity.
The history of the painting is very interesting, as it was commissioned by King George III of England to decorate his royal residence. The painting depicts the peace and harmony that reigned in Europe after the Seven Years’ War, a war that had left Europe devastated and in ruins.
One of the most interesting aspects of the painting is that Rigaud used his wife as a model for the central figure representing peace. Furthermore, it is said that the artist was inspired by the Greek goddess Athena to create the central figure of the painting.
In summary, the painting Allegory of Peace by John Francis Rigaud is a masterpiece of neoclassicism that represents the peace and harmony that reigned in Europe after the Seven Years War. The balanced composition, the soft color and the divine central figure make this painting a unique and very interesting work of art.

Com toda licença: "[MARS] IN FURS"
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather Whiplash [boy] child in the dark Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him Strike, dear [master], and cure his heart
Downy sins of streetlight fancies Chase the costumes [he] shall wear Ermine furs adorn the imperious Severin, Severin awaits you there
I am tired, I am weary I could sleep for a thousand years A thousand dreams that would awake me Different colors made of tears
Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather Shiny leather in the dark Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you Strike, dear [master], and cure his heart
Severin, Severin, speak so slightly Severin, down on your bended knee Taste the whip, in love not given lightly Taste the whip, now bleed for me
I am tired, I am weary I could sleep for a thousand years A thousand dreams that would awake me Different colors made of tears
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather Whiplash [boy] child in the dark Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him Strike, dear [master], and cure his heart
