EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white lithograph, titled "Portrait of Jean-Nicolas, Baron Corvisart," was created by the renowned French artist Julien Leopold Boilly in 1822. The portrait depicts Jean-Nicolas Corvisart, a distinguished doctor and surgeon, who served as the personal physician to Napoleon Bonaparte. Corvisart's direct gaze and strong, determined expression convey his intelligence and expertise in the medical field. The portrait is a testament to the heritage of European art and the evolution of portrait photography in the 19th century. The lithograph, which is in black on ivory wove paper, showcases the intricacies of Boilly's lithographic technique, known as lithotint. The artist's skillful use of shading and contrast creates a three-dimensional effect that brings Corvisart's features to life. The lettering in the print is elegant and ornate, adding to the overall aesthetic of the piece. The portrait is a significant addition to any art collection, particularly those focused on European art or the history of medicine. The image of Corvisart, dressed in the formal attire of a gentleman and physician, is a reminder of the importance of science and the professions during this period. The portrait invites viewers to connect with the subject on a personal level, as if Corvisart is looking directly at them with a message of wisdom and knowledge. This rare and beautiful lithograph is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of Julien Leopold Boilly and the rich artistic heritage of Europe.
