Madame Rekam'ie - Dark and fluffy - LiveJournal. The Chamber of Madame Ramyani François Gerard portrait of Madame Ramyani

10:55 pm - Madame Rekam'ie
Continuing to write about women and artists, I decided to write about one unexpected lady.

Portrait of Gerard
Madame Recam's life had a lot of mystery, which earned the respect of writers, historians, artists, and political figures.
The first mystery became the same. She was only fifteen when she married Jacques Recamp, a wealthy banker who was 27 years older than her. Romantic-minded writers respect that this was their father, who, 27 years ago, fell into the enchantment of Madame Bernard - Julie's mother, and in 1777 from his marriage a miracle girl was born, who fell asleep before her mother. I have a garnish taste, and my father has a mind , and in the first half of the 19th century she became one of the most charming wives of France. Before the speech, the fortune-telling, the father and the father, whose name was officially in decline, were good friends. History in a modern French way. What is true here and what is not, it is important to say. Mr. Rekam did not dare to do this all year, but uncontrollably, in 1793, at the outbreak of political upheavals in France, the hand and heart of the young Julie Adelaide Bernard...

Historians are skeptical about explaining this idea from a different, more pragmatic point of view - the fear of the confiscation of the mainland by the new republican order that came to power after the Revolution of 1789. The successful and well-known banker Rekam had to spend a lot, and the fictitious scheme allowed him to transfer everything he had in the name of his young friend and grown-up daughter, who was not even thicker than his name. The grievances of this family have happened today. Mr. Rekam was not in awe, and Madame Bernard was glad that she was cheering her daughter in the distance, not even extinguishing respect for her utmost sensitivity. She was a woman of character and her big thoughts didn’t really matter. The same historians confirm that in that difficult era such fictitious loves were not uncommon. It’s not surprising, but all revolutions are alike. Behind the noble words of Freedom, Jealousy and Fraternity, there were less beautiful phenomena: terror, confiscation and nationalization.

Immediately after the fun, another riddle of Madame Recamier appears, which intrigued everyone and became a byword - intimate life “keeps you young.” The same skeptical historians, this time, are more sympathetic to Madame Rekam. The stench confirms that the old man never bothered with his young friends, giving her the freedom that she wanted to achieve reasonably. Having taken away the man's warm booth in Paris from gifts, she organized her own salon, which became the most popular literary and political salon in France for several decades.

Its charm adds richness. She has friends, among whom the famous Madame de Stael, a French writer from the beginning of the 19th century, gained particular respect. She is 32 years old, eleven years older than Julie, and this is the beginning of a twenty-year friendship between the two women. Another secret place for gossip lovers. Can you establish a true friendship that is important to the pleasure of men between two women?

And this mysterious family development intrigues people, including numerous rogues, among them one of Napoleon’s brothers, Lucien Bonaparte, who in 1799 begins to closely observe Julie. However, he is deprived of his name, both to the respect of a high-ranking rogue, and to the name of Bonaparte, who play an increasingly important role in the life of France. She appears to be in the role of a court lady, assigned to her by Napoleon, and is looking to attend a ball organized by her squad, the beautiful Josephine, the future Empress of France. Surprisingly, Madame Rekam will unite people who are opposed to the new government policy. In 1802, he went on a trip to England - Bonaparte's irreconcilable superintendent, showing them his dislike of the policies of the new order, and turning around, opening his salon, which gradually transformed into oppositional adjustments to Napoleon's politics ny center. But she also attracts not only people who are not well-suited to the republican order and her own rogues.
Julie Rekam was born into the family of a notary in Lyon, after her father's retirement, the family moved to Paris.
At 15 years old, she married the banker Jacques Recam'e, who was her elder by 26 years.
The meetings between friends were more friendly than loving. As a cheerful gift, the banker bought the mansion of the great royal minister of finance Necker in Paris, and began to receive guests for the first time, and the visits soon turned into the famous salon.

Madame Rekam did not admit her dissatisfaction with the new government policy. This salon received inseparable changes and gradually transformed into an oppositional political center aimed at Napoleon. The Imperial police closed the salon several times. After the hanging of Geremine de Stael, she continued to maintain a connection with her, and later an order was signed about her removal from the capital. It moved to the French province, rose in price in Italy and returned to Paris after the restoration. In 1819, the family moved to the monastery of Abbe-au-Bois, where they continued to live in the city; Her close friend Rene Chateaubriand stayed with her until death.
Julie wrote her memoirs, but before her death she ordered them to be destitute. Vaughn has lost a great number of leaves, some of which have been overhanded over the years

The owner of the brilliant Parisian salon, Julie Rekam, painted her portrait for David.
Having taken up the work, I was once again satisfied with the minds from which I had the opportunity to write. In his words, sometimes the room was very dark, sometimes there was light coming out from such a high point. The work went so well that Madame Recame didn’t bother and encouraged François Gerard to finish the portrait. David, for the sake of Gerard, accepted the proposition, and when Julie Recam'e came to the Louvre one day to call David, telling her: “Wives have their own hairstyles, and artists have theirs. Allow me to satisfy my primha: I will take your portrait from your current camp.” David has ruined everything in life. Not at all unimportant, but perhaps, and indeed, “Portrait of Madame Rekamie” in its soft yellow-blue color has a miraculous butt of David’s mastery.

Well, I’ll end with a gloomy portrait of Rene Magritte... I love his allegorical nature.

Francois Gerard. "Portrait of Madame Rekam" 1805

Madame Rekam'ie(Née Jean Françoise Julie Adélaïde Bernard) - this extraordinary woman, throughout the rich fates after the revolution in France, has little fame as the first beauty who drove people crazy. The beautiful Parisian beauty is famous, most famous in the history of the gentleman of the literary salon.

The painters Gerard and David painted her portrait. The image Recommends for rich people be infused with thoroughness.

Vaughn broke the heart of Lucien Bonaparte, brother of Emperor Napoleon. Prince Metternich, the Duke of Wellington, the writers Costantin De Rebeck, Chateaubriand, the Prussian prince Augustus were ready to shepherd these beautiful legs. With the fates of the list, Madame Rekam was even more surprised. For the people, she became a sign of pride. The separation from her was unbearable.

Jerel was ruled by the suspense that overtook the people of the world. Before us, these angelic guises and presence screamed out a feeling that was close to worship and adoration, and awakened Father’s instinct. And at the same time, another power was erupting, like a whimper, calling out to flirt, a call was read in the eyes, and in the non-streaming dance there was a gaiety that was overflowing.

Jacques Louis David, "Portrait of Madame Recam'e", 1800

There was an intriguing complexity, which, with its rubrics, led to confusion. She was screaming, undeniably, richly more, and she was starting to give in. Madame Rekam's dungeon opened up like an open bottle, and became a mystery that I desperately wanted to solve. She was an unapproachable goddess and, at the same time, a flirtatious devil who drove people crazy. No matter how much you relished the woman, she would have loved it herself. Vaughn was the master of exactly the rozrakhovannay effect.

Jean-François Valli. Julie Rekam. 1800

Prussian Prince Augustus, nephew of Frederick the Great, handsome and sybaritic, who easily won a woman's heart, in 1807 he raised a box of French writing to Madame da Steel. At the same time, it was time to accept and introduce the guests. As the evening progressed, the doors closed and the thirty-year-old Madame Rekam came into the salon, having been napping in her room.

She was introduced to the prince and promptly left for her bedroom. I feel about her glory, although I want the young girls themselves. She really was beautiful, as they said. It was not so much that beauty captivated the prince as much as her wondrous unearthly gaze, which was rich in confusion and tenderness. Serpen could not take his eyes off Madame Rekam. It was sparse and sumptuous.

Firmin Massot. "Portrait of Julie Recam" 1807.

When Madame Rekam sang a romance about a cow, the prince of enchantments spoke in an angelic, sombre voice. Suddenly, as an unsettling cry, a shaky glance appeared and was thrown at him. Lively energy and a call could be read in her gaze, which left August completely unsettled.

Having spent two years with her in the castle, the most enviable name of Europe, forgetting about all his bachelor’s liberties and asking Madame Recam’s hand in marriage, happily moved to Prussia. Looks good. Serpen hastened home and asked his family’s permission to have fun. He showered them with love sheets, realizing that God’s will. And you will find, having torn off the sheet: VON HAS CHANGED YOUR MIND.

A little later, I took away from her a gift to the famous painting. Portrait of Penzle Gerard, de Madame Recam'e is depicted on the couch. The prince could not take his eyes off the picture, trying to understand the darkness in his gaze.

Vin, having replaced the ranks, was able, like a tree, to sleep in the bedroom.

After the death of the prince, this gift, according to his commandment, was presented to Madame Rekam.

All the great people of the century have been buried in Madame Recam'e. Among her guards were not only Prince Augustus and Napoleon's brother Lucien, but also Ampère, Benjamin Constant, and also Chateaubriand, who might have been much greater: otherwise they would lose the “secret River”.

Saint-Bov calls it a “sweet genius.” Genius, how Madame Recame started to groan against Napoleon. She was aware of all the moves against the Emperor, most of them originating in her salon. A corner of intellectuals, a place where the most boring thoughts of the time are collected, Madame Recam's salon, therefore, becomes one of the greatest centers of opposition to the imperial regime.

Francois-Louis Dejunnet. "Madame Recam'e in the salon of the monastery of Abbe pro Bois." 1826

Julie was fifteen years old when she married Jacques-Roger Recamp, a wealthy banker 27 years older than her. Was she the daughter of her official father, the Lyon notary Jean Bernard? Who is the daughter of Jacques-Roger himself, Rekam, who, to be sure, has an affair with her mother? All this is lost to the foolish. As if it wasn’t there, it explains why there were no girlfriends’ moans in whose love, which is confirmed.

During the period of Terror, people will do everything possible to seize them from the influx of Parisian marriage, which respects the seals. Daremno - the girl becomes one of the central positions of the matrimonial events. Her grace turns the gaze of every man, including Lucien Bonaparte, who in 1799 is passionately attracted to her.

Jacques-Louis David, "Madame Recam'e." Fragment. Louvre, Paris.

Madame Recam's regular social life begins with the arrival of the Consulate: all of the consulate appears in its blinding luxury at the Necker Hotel. This display of sporuda, this museum, becomes a place of representation for the new regime, as well as for the nostalgically reconciled figures of the old. The number of their shanuvalniks is growing even more.

At 1802 r. off to England, where he arrives in an aura of international fame. Treat her like a queen. Madame Rekam sets England on fire. It is obvious that guilt attracts people; she's washing her boots on the riser, without getting embarrassed by the residual moisture.


Jeanne Francoise Julie Adelaide Bernard, in friendly Madame Recam'e, was famous for her wiggly beauty, which made people crazy, and was the mistress of the famous literary salon. There were many guests there Madame de Stael, Chateaubriand, Sainte-Beuve and many other representatives of the creative elite. These portraits were painted by famous artists. It remains a mystery as to what this woman was like and how she ended up in the center of the cultural life of Paris.



In 1793, if the girl was not 16 years old, she was married to a banker, who was 27 years older than her. The meetings between friends were absolutely friendly. To be fair, Jacques-Roger Rekam previously had an affair with her mother. In connection with this, a version emerged that Julie actually became the daughter of a banker, who became friends so that the wealth would not go with the family. However, this is how I lost one of Madame Rekam’s hiding places.



As a cheerful gift, the man gave Julie a mansion in Paris, and she began to receive guests. Soon Madame Recam's salon became the center of the cultural movement of Paris.



She conquered the rich, among them were the writers Costantin De Rebeck, Chateaubriand, the Prussian Prince Augustus, Napoleon's brother Lucien Bonaparte, Prince Metternich, the Duke of Wellington and many others. Rekam’s will to trim numerous fashion followers on the rise, without wasting friendly cents on them.



Her angelic appearance was often called the sign of thoroughness. Madame Rekam knew wonderfully about those things that are golden. Perhaps, because of her own lack of wealth, she decided to make the woman’s enemy mysterious and inaccessible, although coquetry was not spared. Julie has rarely given a hint of hope, leaving no room for hope.



The Prussian prince Augustus, nephew of Frederick the Great, asked for her hand, and she gave her favor. But when she turned back to Prussia, the woman reluctantly changed her mind and sent her famous portrait by Gerard to her for a riddle. Serpen ice is not godless.



Julie never showed any real interest in politics, but in her salon the most boring intellectuals were gathered, most of whom were trained in the past before Napoleon. She was aware of all the changes, fragments of the stench littered her vitals. The literary salon gradually transformed into one of the centers of political opposition. For these reasons, the salon was repaired.



Julie was introduced to the literary world by Madame de Stael, who became her closest friend for many years. One of the mysteries is the history of their friendship, in which Madame de Stael showed jealousy no less than the mischief of a human being. If Napoleon, having protected her friends, appears closer, at least a hundred miles from the capital, Madame Recamée will follow her and risk losing Paris. Julie spends five days with Germaine de Stael, moving from place to place. The stinks could reach the capital only after the emperor’s speech to the throne.



In 1819, Madame Recam's family moved to Abbey-au-Bois, where political figures, writers, etc. gathered in her salon. Chateaubriand often visited there, which became Madame Recam's constant addiction. Another mystery is these wonderful centenaries, which are important to call happy.



The greatest mystery of Madame Recam is that she, in fact, did not earn anything of note, but went down in French history as a woman who managed to bring together the most talented people of her time around her salon.



Non-crossing women were often found at the center of cultural life in the capital, as, for example,

(outside the name of the French Jeanne Françoise Julie Adélaïde - Jeanne Françoise Julie Adélaïde, daughter of Bernard - Bernard; 3rd birth 1777, Lyon, France - 11th May 1849, Paris), women whose origins lie in French history and about yaku Historians, literary scholars, and mystical scholars are still writing about this. There are many images of this image by artists, sculptors and engravers.
What else does this woman have to add, since she hasn’t done anything miraculous, hasn’t achieved any great feat?

Francois Gerard. Portrait of Madame Recam'e. 1805 r_k. Paris, France, Musees Carnavalet
François Gerard created a portrait of Madame Recam'e in 1805, when Juliette was twenty years old. He wrote her letter in her mansion on the Rue Mont-Blanc, on light light cloth, with bare shoulders, arms and open feet, like an ancient goddess. The red curtain between the columns closes the interior, resounding the expanse of the portico and the skyline overlooking Paris, a kind of temple-life of a beautiful woman, whom everyone called the queen of beauty. High and string, there is a small wondrous grace, such a special internal musical rhythm, which Gerard is trying to convey, folds that strumenil, fall to her legs, which is tightly wrapped around the shawl. In the unmoving lightness of the posture, the thoughtfully bowed head and the clear, trusting look, the feral-looking, beautiful brown eyes suggest frankness, gentleness and kindness.
For Gerard. Like, however, rich people who treasured the ideals of ancient beauty, Madame Recamier was inspired by femininity. It is cloth that enhances the blinding whiteness of the skin and the fresh color of its appearance, and it is strictly brushed in the Greek style. The variety of embellishments testified to the refined taste and warmth of simplicity. They inherited it, they copied it, they admired it, they loved it.

Gerard often visited Juliette's bedchamber and made a bunch of portrait drawings from her, before and after the creation of the great man-child portrait, which recalled the burial of old Goethe.
Francois Gérard (François Pascal Simon, Baron Gérard, 4 May 1770-1837) - French historian and artist) was the most famous secular portrait painter. I was called by Napoleon, Empress Josephine, the emperor's relatives, courtiers, ministers and generals. Gerard's pen contains a whole gallery of portraits of famous people of France. But the greatest success among them was the portrait of Madame Rekam, which defined a secular ideal. Many artists of that time began to inherit the romantic manner, in every type of writing.

Gerard was a teacher of the great David, only through his creativity did someone else’s proud pathos of enormity appear, powerful to the mystique of the teacher. David created works that stirred the hearts and minds of his people before and during the hour of the Great French Revolution. The prize of freedom, huge masculinity, patriotism. Gerard's paintings are small and delicate, their shapes and lines bring even more aesthetic satisfaction. Just as David's works were imbued with heroism, Gerard's paintings were imbued with thoughtless lightness and hedonism. Those who affirm that they strive to become content in life.

Juliette was a native of Lyon, before the speech, she, in addition to the above, had three more names - Jeanne, Adelaide, Francoise. She was born into the family of a notary, who took over a new estate and moved to Paris in 1786.
The girl was not yet sixteen when she was married to the banker Rekam, who was the eldest of the bride by twenty-six years. The man spent his luxury by purchasing the mansion of the great royal minister of finance, Necker, on the Rue Mont-Blanc. As they say, the banker Rekamie, living before his young squad, felt like a father, vikorist’s secular success in support of prestige and business connections. Reputation and behavior of Madame Recommend to aphids to finish the lightly important issues of this era were unknown. Their unforeseen relationships with a man known to be rich gave them their own special feelings and increased interests in their lives.
Accept that the Rivers are governed by the most famous people, not only in France, but throughout Europe. She was always sharpened by the tide of rogues and rogues, which, according to the words of Saint-Biove - a critic and a writer - even masterfully dared to recreate on her own friends. True, not all of them. Napoleon, who rejected Vidmova’s decision to become a court lady of his court and “the emperor’s girlfriend,” forever hid the image. And when in 1806 the bank of Rekame became aware of its collapse. Napoleon completely did not allow him to escape from the ruins. Moreover, having driven Juliette herself out of Paris through a number of fates.

Having learned about the man's misfortune, she began to quickly collect all her valuables, so that by selling them, she would turn the man's pennies, and she herself again deprived the luxurious mansion on the rue Mont Blanc. The generosity and nobility of this woman impressed everyone who knew her. Out of a feeling of friendship, for example, she became attached to the oppositionist group of the re-examined writings of Germaine de Stael.

Unsatisfied with the emperor’s dissatisfaction, she continued to accept people from various political backgrounds – republicans, royalists, Bonapartists. When Napoleon was once informed that three of his ministers were at an evening with Madame Recamie, he was very respectful: “I didn’t admit that a number of ministers were now sitting in Madame Recamie’s booth.”

For just two days in life, she was beautiful and the proud woman felt more strongly than the friendliness. The first person who, in her words, “disturbed the beating of her heart,” who recognized the status of his retinue, was Prince Augustus (1779-1843). It seemed so strong that Juliette wrote to the people before Paris, begging them for separation. We recommend that you protect yourself with a humble leaf, a sun that gives you a good harvest, and that you should not forget that you are in ruins and old... After many months of painful internal struggle, Juliette saw the prince, To soothe the pain, I sent him a portrait of myself as a gift. Gerard's brushes. After the death of the prince, this portrait, according to his commandment, was turned to Madame Rekam.

In 1811, Madame Recamier, as one would guess, lived in Lyon from Paris.
Turning back through several rocks to the capital, she settles in the so-called Forest Abbey, which is on the outskirts of the place. And from here all the talented Paris is visible.
On one evening in 1817, the famous writer Rene Chateaubriand appeared. From that hour, Chateaubriand lost his best friend, Madame Rekam. Thirty years later, the place was shaking, as today, about the third year of the afternoon of paralysis, Chateaubriand was ordered to carry himself in a palanquin to his wife, without which he could not live a day. I was once again greeted by the friendly, loving and generous Madame Rekam, who at that time had gone completely blind. However, now the top of her music was roaring in her bedroom. As Sainte-Beuve writes, one of the regulars in her everyday life, “Madame Recam’s salon was the center and the middle of literature... There was no talent, honesty, self-righteousness, as if she had not been excited, had not dared to show herself... I feel, how people nourished, Madame Rekam's wisdom was reasonable. It seems to me that she led the high world not with the kind of intelligence that vibrates on its own, but with the one that stirs up fires and destroys the especially brilliant minds of others. Vaughn listened enchantingly, not missing anything that was most valuable. The unique and characteristic rice of Madame Rekam was intended to infuse food... to everyone who drank and drank with it...”
