The portrait of Jane Henriot was painted by Pierre Auguste Renoir in several occasions, like in the artwork Head of a Young Woman Wearing a Blue Scarf, and Madame Henriot, but Madame Henriot2 is by far the most breathtaking. He also portrayed Jeanne Henriot in the painting Young Girl in a Blue Hat. Madame Henriot was French actress who tragically died in the fire that took over the Comédie-Française, the theater she worked at the time.
Unlike the other two portrayals of the artist, Madame Henriot2 has a dream-like atmosphere. The model’s eyes look deeply into the viewer’s, creating a great bond between spectator and painting. Her dark brown eyes have only a speck of glimmering white light, and they match the color of her hair, that is up in a bun. Her rosy cheeks and lips give a sense of innocence and purity, just as her white gown does.
Renoir gave more definition and detail to her face – just as when your eyes concentrate on one focal point, and the rest of your vision gets blurry. This Impressionistic grasp of a romantic theme makes this painting unique, a real masterpiece of modern portraits. The color palette is soft. With a yellow-brown base in the background and violet shadows – the same violet tonality used in the darker areas of her clothing. As Renoir reaches the bottom part of the canvas, the model’s body – her arms and hands – as well as the fabric of her dress, he loosens, even more, his brushstrokes, in a way that figure and background seem to intertwine. While in Madame Henriot, Renoir was not able to capture this same light atmosphere, as he used a darker color palette.
Like other Impressionists, Renoir enjoyed collecting Japanese art that came in the form of woodcut prints. Hokusai was one of the most well-known artists of this period, perfecting the technique called Ukiyo-e. These prints resulted in vibrant colors and dark contours. With a beautiful simplicity, the Japanese portrayed their surroundings with blossoming flowers and breathtaking landscapes. They would also depict ordinary scenes of their everyday life, something seen as a modern theme to the Impressionists and a perfect motif to go against Classic rules imposed in art. The way Renoir works with the portrayal of the model in Madame Henriot2 is groundbreaking and goes against the standards of Classic Academy.
