Jean-Leon GEROME (1824-1904)
The wife of King Candaules
circular canvas
Width: 54.5cm
signed and dated lower left: JM Gerome / 1857
old restorations
Our painting predates by two years the different composition on the same subject that Gérôme exhibited at the Salon of 1859, in frieze and in width, now kept in the museum of Ponce (Puerto Rico). The anecdote told by Herodotus inspired the fable of Jean de la Fontaine in 1677. Subsequently, Théophile Gautier took it up, on the register of a hidden sensuality, in a short story published in 1844: King Candaule wished discreetly share his admiration for the beauty of his modest wife Nyssia with his lieutenant Gyges and show her naked. The queen, offended by her husband's audacity and pride, is going to assassinate him with the help of Gyges. This will become the new king. This story has been illustrated at various times (Jacob Jordaens, Nationalmuseum in Stockholm; William Etty, Tate Gallery in London; Joseph Ferdinand Boissard de Boisdenier, private collection, in 1841...).
Our painting has an erotic charge and a stronger ambiguity than the final version, justified by the literary anecdote: play of double voyeur between the character in the background and the spectator, round format usually reserved for noble subjects which evokes the keyhole, vine leaf ostensibly highlighted but hiding nothing. The nude is inspired by Ingres, and in particular by the lost Sleeper of Naples. It is part of a line of provocative female nudes from the middle of the 19th century (Chassériau, Nymphe endormie, 1850, Courbet, L'origine du Monde, Manet, Olympia).

West African fetish tunic, fabrics, leather, fur, vegetable fibers and cowries, long. 79 cmProvenance: Collection Claire Zeisler, acquired in 1992 at the Richard Gray GalleryClair Zeisler (1903-1991) was a noted American fiber artist based in Chicago. She is credited with shifting the two-dimensional craft of weaving into the realm of sculpture. She began collecting art in the 1930's, acquiring paintings by Picasso, Miro and Klee, and, later, works by prominent Post-War American artists, Franz Kline, Robert Rauschenberg and Jenny Holzer, for instance. Even from her earliest collecting days, she collected so-called 'primitive' art, among them African sculptures, tantric art, Peruvian textiles and American Indian baskets. These works were the most relevant to her artistry, and in this excellent Salampasu the association of craft and quality are clear.
