Portrait of the Sisters Zenaide and Charlotte Bonaparte, 1821
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This portrait, painted by Jacques Louis David in 1821, showcases the contrasting personalities and circumstances of two remarkable women - Zenaide and Charlotte Bonaparte. The sisters, daughters of Joseph Bonaparte (Napoleon's brother), are depicted reading a heartfelt letter from their exiled father who resided in Philadelphia while they lived in Brussels following Napoleon's fall. The painting beautifully captures their individuality through their expressions and attire. Zenaide, the elder sister, radiates sophistication and elegance as she dons a low-cut black velvet dress. In contrast, Charlotte appears timid yet modestly charming in her gray-blue silk ensemble. Both princesses wear tiaras atop their heads as they sit regally on a red velvet couch adorned with golden bees - symbolizing the illustrious Bonaparte family. David masterfully portrays not only the physical beauty but also the emotional depth within these exiled princesses' eyes. Their jewels sparkle against a dark background that highlights their status within French society during this tumultuous period of history. This exquisite artwork offers us an intimate glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary women who navigated both privilege and exile with grace. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of one of history's most influential families - the Bonapartes.
