About the piece
Created by Marie-Victoire Jaquotot in 1825, this exquisite porcelain painting depicts Corinne, the heroine of Madame de Staël’s famous novel, at Cape Miseno. Based on a composition by François Gérard, the work showcases Jaquotot’s technical mastery through its vibrant red drapery, soft flesh tones, and the romantic, atmospheric treatment of the Mediterranean landscape.
