Madame Bergeret de Frouville as Diana
Artist: Jean Marc Nattier (French, 1685–1766)
Date: 1756
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States
Description
Diana, goddess of the hunt, was a model of female virtue and power, but she was also often eroticized, surrounded by her nymphs bathing in the forest. Nattier used her disguise when portraying many of his female sitters, layering contemporary hairstyles and makeup with studio props, including the bow, quiver, and panther skin. This portrait is among the most accomplished examples of this means of elevating a work out of the everyday. Its artifice and self-conscious performativity are characteristic of a society steeped in theater and masquerade. Bergeret de Frouville’s husband was an important patron of other leading French painters, including François Boucher and Hubert Robert.
