Ci-devant Occupations, or Madame Talian and the Empress Josephine Dancing Naked before Barrass in the Winter of 1797
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment of scandalous revelry from history. Created by James Gillray in 1805, this etching with aquatint depicts an intriguing scene that combines political satire, voyeurism, and historical figures. In this artwork, we witness Madame Talian and the Empress Josephine engaging in a provocative dance before Comte de Barras during the winter of 1797. The composition is filled with symbolic elements such as curtains, swords, feathers, and palm trees that add depth to its narrative. The lecherous gaze of Barras as he lounges in his armchair highlights his infatuation with Josephine. Meanwhile, Cupid peeks mischievously from behind a screen while putti wearing bonnet rouge observe discreetly. The revolutionary spirit is further emphasized through references to military uniforms adorned with epaulettes and tricolour accents. Gillray's satirical approach brings humor to this otherwise scandalous portrayal. His caricature-like style exaggerates physical features like Madame Talian's stout figure and emphasizes her former pursuits alongside Napoleon Bonaparte during the Egyptian campaign. Through this artwork's intricate details and clever symbolism, viewers are transported back to a time when politics mingled with personal affairs. It serves as both entertainment for those who appreciate political satire and an intriguing glimpse into the lives of influential figures during the French Revolution era.
