Original Description
Edmond Grasset's 1889 portrait Jeanne d'Arc "Sarah Bernhardt" (cheveux courts) is a striking Art Nouveau interpretation blending theatricality with national iconography. Depicting the legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt in her famed stage role as Joan of Arc, the work captures her with cropped hair—a radical choice mirroring both the historical martyr’s defiance and Bernhardt’s own avant-garde persona. Grasset’s sinuous linework and flat, decorative patterning epitomize the Art Nouveau movement’s fusion of fine and applied arts, while the muted yet luminous palette—dominated by ethereal golds and ivories—evokes medieval stained glass. This print, originally created for La Plume magazine, became emblematic of late-19th-century cultural intersections: Bernhardt’s celebrity, Joan’s enduring mythos, and Grasset’s pioneering graphic design. Its historical significance lies in bridging Symbolist gravitas with emerging commercial illustration techniques.
For contemporary display, this piece thrives in spaces balancing vintage grandeur and modern minimalism. Ideal for a study or salon, its vertical composition (typical of Grasset’s poster-style works) suits narrow walls or positions above mantels, where intricate details can be admired at eye level. Frame it in an ornate gold or oxidized silver border to echo its medieval inspirations, or opt for a sleek black frame for contemporary contrast. The artwork’s warm ivory and gold tones pair effortlessly with rich textures like velvet upholstery or reclaimed oak furniture. In offices, it injects historical gravitas—display it alongside modern abstract pieces to create a dialogue between eras. A mid-sized reproduction (approximately 60x90cm) ensures visual impact without overwhelming smaller rooms, while museum-grade UV glass preserves its delicate hues from fading.
