Description
English: I t became common in the 18th century for women to have their portraits painted in a variety of roles – as a shepherdess or a mythological figure. This woman appears as Flora, the goddess of vegetation and fertility. She wears a costume, inspired by antiquity, that leaves one breast bare. In earlier times, bare breasts could symbolise maternity, but here there is more of an erotic overtone. The portrait was painted by Élisabeth Louise Vigée- Lebrun, one of France’s leading portraitists before, during and after the French Revolution.
Svenska: I 1700-talets kvinnoporträtt blev det vanligt att låta avbilda sig i olika roller – som herdinna eller som mytologisk gestalt. Den här kvinnan framträder som Flora – växtlighetens och fruktbarhetens gudinna. Hon bär en antikinspirerad dräkt som lämnar det ena bröstet bart. I äldre tider kunde bara bröst symbolisera moderskap, men här är det snarare laddat med erotiska övertoner. Porträttet är utfört av Élisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun, en av de ledande franska porträttmålarna före, under och efter den franska revolutionen.
