Madame Jacques-Louis Leblanc (née Françoise Poncelle, 1788–1839)

1823
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 801
Jacques-Louis Leblanc et sa femme représentaient la France à la cour de la grande-duchesse de Toscane, Élisa Baciocchi, née Bonaparte. Les Leblanc restèrent à Florence après la chute de Napoléon, en 1814–1815. Ingres fit leur connaissance en arrivant de Rome, en 1820. Fruits de cette rencontre, ces deux portraits sont parmi les plus grands qu’Ingres ait peints, à l’exception des commandes royales. Ce sont aussi les seuls à former une paire. Edgar Degas, qui les acquit en 1896, estimait qu’ils étaient les plus beaux de sa vaste collection.
