Sul dipinto
Portrait of Madame François Buron is an oil-on-canvas painting created in 1769 by French artist Jacques-Louis David. The work depicts Madame François Buron, the wife of David's uncle, who was one of his early supporters.
Con le parole del museo
Following his father’s death in 1757, the young Jacques-Louis David was raised in the house of his uncle, architect François Buron, and his wife, Marie-Josèphe Fromont. Madame Buron was particularly supportive of David’s desire to become a painter, in opposition to her husband’s wish that he study architecture. In this intimate early portrait, David presented his aunt looking up momentarily from her reading to acknowledge the viewer with a warm reserve. Her glance suggests an affectionate bond between the painter and sitter and displays the ambitious young artist’s awareness of contemporary conventions for depicting middle-class women of sensibility.
