And my trek through some more favorite blogs brought me back to Eye Candy where I found this gorgeous image called “L’Elégante au chapeau” by Jean-Gabriel Domergue. I’ve always loved pin-up art, but I had never heard of this French artist whose work reminds me of my favorite Rococo painter, Francois Boucher. As his site states, Domergue became the painter of the “Parisian lady”, who he must have loved since he made over 3,000 portraits (now that’s prolific). This statement from his sight says it all about his melodious style:
“The female figure became airy, sparkling and effervescent like Champagne bubbles laying the ground in his own way for the feminine revolution which began in the next decades.”
– thanks again to Eye Candy for always finding such amazing artists
