Description

Madame \"Juliette\" Recambier
19th Century French Miniature Portrait, hand painted.

Madame Recamier was a celebrated French Beauty, considered by many as the most beautiful and graceful woman of her day. Because of the brilliancy of her conversation, manners and the charm of her person she made her home a haven for men of education and genius.Jeanne Francoise Julie Adelaide Recamier, usually known as Juliette, was born in Lyons on December 3, 1777. Not much is known about her youth, but she was the daughter of a banker named Bernard, with whom she eventually moved to Paris. At the young age of fifteen, Juliette married Jacques Recamier, a wealthy banker much older than herself. In fact, he was three times her own age.Her home was a place of rest for great men of her day. She was a hostess of great wit and beauty and her salon attracted prominent literary and political figures. To be invited to her house, one was assured of plenty of food and good company. To be invited to her salon meant you were somebody and that you would be rubbing shoulders with the great men of the day. Under the rule of the French directory and during the consulate and empire her salon was constantly visited by such distinguished people as Lucien Bonaparte, Moreau, Bernadotte, La Harpe, Benjamin Constant, and David. Her distinguishing traits were an extreme sweetness of disposition and tenderness of heart, which obtained her the affection of all who knew her. It should be noted that she was quite unspoiled by the homage that she was paid because of her extraordinary beauty. Because of her temperament, there was never a scandal about all the men who were guests in her home.
