This selection brings together instantly recognizable portraits where Leonardo, Vermeer, Velazquez and Van Eyck each invent a lasting relationship with the viewer.
The fame of a portrait does not depend only on the model. It is born from a pictorial solution strong enough to remain memorable. Leonardo gives The Mona Lisa a balance between face, hands and landscape, softened by sfumato. Vermeer reduces The Girl with a Pearl Earring to a movement of the head, a light and a few precise colors. In Les Ménines, Velázquez makes the collective portrait an open scene where the king, queen, painter and spectator occupy uncertain positions. Van Eyck fills the Portrait of the Arnolfini couple with materials, signs and a convex mirror which widens the space. Together, these masterpieces allow you to choose between intimacy, majesty, narration and mystery without leaving facial language. The "Famous Portraits" selection notably compares The Mona Lisa - Leonardo da Vinci and The Girl with a Pearl Earring - Johannes Vermeer. His reading favors light.
Famous portraits remain familiar without becoming simple: the more we recognize them, the more their looks, their gestures and their details continue to intrigue.
