violinist by Anne Vallayer-Coster Anne Vallayer-Coster s Portrait of a Violinist is the latest addition to Nationalmuseum s collection of 18th-century French painting Anne Vallayer 1744 1818 was elected to the French academy of art at the age of just 26 This was a remarkable event at the time given the artist s youth and the fact that she was a woman in a male-dominated institution and an unmarried woman at that There is no indication that Vallayer enjoyed royal patronage but she did not lack for mentors in the ranks of the academy Claude-Joseph Vernet a landscape painter had been her teacher It was as a painter of still lifes that she was elected to the academy Nationalmuseum already has two such works in its collection Still Life with Brioche Fruit and Vegetables 1775 and the miniature Floral Still Life undated Vallayer who in 1781 married Jean-Pierre-Silvester Coster a successful lawyer specialized primarily in floral painting Thanks to her effective use of colour and skilful illusionism her still lifes were much in demand but ranked relatively low in the subject matter hierarchy of the time Vallayer-Coster therefore tried to expand her range of motifs by deliberately incorporating objects more usually associated with historical painting In the hope of attracting royal clients she also painted portraits which led to commissions from the king s aunts and from Queen Marie Antoinette Despite her ambition of expanding her range of motifs Vallayer-Coster painted very few portraits and many of those that she did had a direct personal connection In the light of this fact and a certain resemblance researchers have suggested that Portrait of a Violinist is a genre painting of one of the artist s three sisters Madeleine Elisabeth or Simone It is not known whether any of them really did play the violin but what is clear is that Vallayer-Coster had an extraordinary gift for depicting musical instruments for instance A sense of calm and contemplation permeates the self-contained composition Even the broken strings contribute to the visual excellence of the image while also raising questions as to their significance Portrait of a Violinist undoubtedly ranks among the artist s foremost works Nationalmuseum s purchase of this work has been made possible by a generous donation from the Wiros Fund Nationalmuseum has no budget of its own for new acquisitions but relies on gifting and financial support from private funds and foundations to enhance its collections of fine art and craft Inventory number NM 7297 Beskrivning pĂ„

MĂ„lning av en kvinnlig violinist av Anne Vallayer-Coster Nationalmuseum har utökat sin samling av franskt 1700-talsmĂ„leri med Anne Vallayer-Costers PortrĂ€tt av en violinist Anne Vallayer 1744-1818 var bara 26 Ă„r gammal nĂ€r hon blev invald i den franska konstakademien Detta uppfattades av samtiden som en exceptionell hĂ€ndelse pĂ„ grund av konstnĂ€rens ringa Ă„lder att hon var kvinna i en helt mansdominerad institution och dessutom ogift Inget pekar pĂ„ att Anne Vallayer hade kungligt beskydd men hon saknade inte mentorer bland akademiens ledamöter LandskapsmĂ„lare Claude-Joseph Vernet hade varit hennes lĂ€rare Det var i sin egenskap av stillebenmĂ„lare hon blev ledamot av konstakademien I Nationalmuseums samling finns redan tvĂ„ exempel Stilleben med brioche frukt och grönsaker 1775 samt Blomsterstilleben odaterat i miniatyrformat Anne Vallayer som Ă„r 1781 gifte sig med en framgĂ„ngsrik jurist Jean-Pierre-Silvester Coster var i första hand specialiserad pĂ„ blomstermĂ„leri Hennes effektfulla kolorit och drivna illusionism gjorde hennes stilleben efterfrĂ„gade men de hade en förhĂ„llandevis lĂ„g status inom tidens Ă€mneshierarki DĂ€rför försökte Anne Vallayer-Coster vidga sin motivkrets genom att medvetet inkorporera föremĂ„l som var mer beslĂ€ktade med historiemĂ„leriet Anne Vallayer-Coster utförde Ă€ven portrĂ€tt i syfte att locka kungliga bestĂ€llare Detta ledde till uppdrag bĂ„de frĂ„n kungens fastrar och drottning Marie Antoinette Trots sina ambitioner att vidga sin motivkrets utförde Anne Vallayer-Coster ytterst fĂ„ portrĂ€tt och dessa har i mĂ„nga fall en direkt personlig koppling till konstnĂ€ren Det Ă€r denna omstĂ€ndighet och en viss likhet som gjort att forskningen uppfattat PortrĂ€tt av en violinist som en genreartad framstĂ€llning av en av konstnĂ€rens tre systrar Madeleine Elisabeth eller Simone Huruvida nĂ„gon av dem verkligen trakterade violin Ă€r okĂ€nt men klart Ă€r att Anne Vallayer-Coster var utomordentligt skicklig i att framstĂ€lla t ex musikinstrument Den slutna kompositionen prĂ€glas av ett stilla lugn och kontemplation Ăven de brustna strĂ€ngarna bidrar i hög grad till mĂ„lningens stora bildmĂ€ssiga kvalitĂ©er och
