🎨 Famous Paintings by Marie-Guillemine Benoist

Hand-painted reproductions – By Alpha Reproduction

✨ Neoclassical grace, feminine gaze, and pictorial boldness

Rare painter and pioneer in a male-dominated era, Marie-Guillemine Benoist established herself through a body of work as elegant as it is activist, combining the academic mastery of neoclassicism with a humanist and committed vision. A student of Jacques-Louis David, she creates portraits of great dignity, powerful female figures, and scenes where light, skin, and soul unite in silence.
At Alpha Reproduction, we bring its most striking paintings back to life through hand-painted oil reproductions, faithful to the gentle and subtle strength of its art.

🎨 Who was Marie-Guillemine Benoist?

Born in 1768 in Paris, Marie-Guillemine Benoist studied under David and became one of the few women exhibited at the Salon during the Empire. Her work, influenced by neoclassicism, is distinguished by a mastery of portraiture, a great delicacy in the representation of bodies, and a desire to give a plastic voice to women and the invisibilized figures of her time.
She remains in the history of art as the author of the famous Portrait of a Black Woman (1800), which has become a symbol of freedom, dignity, and equality.
