Madame Gautreau (Madame X) (c. 1883) - John Singer Sargent - Canvas Print

Madame Gautreau (Madame X) is a painting created around 1883 by the American artist John Singer Sargent. The portrait depicts Virginie Avegno Gautreau, a beautiful but socially ambitious woman in 19th-century Parisian high society. The subject of the painting is controversial due to Madame Gautreau's scandalous reputation and her fashion choices for the occasion, which included a strapless evening dress that exposed her shoulders. This caused quite a stir at the time, as such revealing clothing was considered inappropriate for public events. The painting is characterized by Sargent's skillful use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and dimension on Madame Gautreau's skin, which appears to be luminous against the dark background. The composition also highlights her beauty and elegance, with the focus being on her face, neck, and shoulders. This painting is considered one of Sargent's most famous works and a masterpiece of portraiture in Western art history.
