More about this artwork

Édouard Vuillard's 1918 portrait, "Madeleine Rodrigues," captures a moment of introspective elegance painted with an impressionistic touch that characterizes much of Vuillard's renowned work. The subject—Madeleine Rodrigues—poses with a sophisticated yet contemplative expression, her gaze subtly averted, as if lost in a distant thought or memory. Her dark, stylish hat and matching coat, adorned with a hint of blue that echoes in her blouse, frames her delicate facial features, which Vuillard renders with soft, rosy hues.The background of the painting is an equally important character in this composition. It softly blends domestic elements with the airy mystique typical of Vuillard's interiors. A painting within this painting hangs on the wall behind Madeleine, and a vase of vividly blue flowers adds a dash of bright color to the scene. These elements not only enrich the visual texture but also create a narrative atmosphere, as if providing glimpses into Madeleine's personal world and aesthetic sensibilities.

Jean-Édouard Vuillard (11 November 1868 – 21 June 1940) was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker. From 1891 through 1900, Vuillard was a prominent member of the avant garde artistic group Les Nabis, creating paintings that assembled areas of pure color. His interior scenes, influenced by Japanese prints, explored the spatial effects of flattened planes of color, pattern, and form. As a decorative artist, Vuillard painted theater sets, panels for interior decoration, and designed plates and stained glass. After 1900, when the Nabis broke up, Vuillard adopted a more realistic style, approaching landscapes and interiors with greater detail and vivid colors. In the 1920s and 1930s, he painted portraits of prominent figures in French industry and the arts in their familiar settings.

Vuillard was influenced by Paul Gauguin, among other post-impressionist painters.
