Original Description
In Felix Edouard Vallotton’s Roger et Angelique (1922), a striking tension between romantic narrative and modernist austerity unfolds. Depicting the dramatic moment from Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso where the knight Roger rescues Angelique from a sea monster, Vallotton reimagines the scene with his signature flat planes, sharp contours, and subdued palette. The composition balances the dynamism of Angelique’s twisting form against Roger’s stoic figure, all rendered with crisp, almost woodcut-like precision—an echo of Vallotton’s roots in the Nabi movement. While the subject nods to classical mythology, the execution is distinctly modern, stripping away excess to focus on emotional and formal potency. This work exemplifies Vallotton’s late-career shift toward narrative painting while retaining his avant-garde edge, making it a compelling bridge between symbolism and early 20th-century modernism. Its rarity—Vallotton’s literary scenes are fewer than his interiors or landscapes—adds to its significance in his oeuvre.
For displaying Roger et Angelique, consider a space that harmonizes with its restrained drama. A minimalist study or a sleek office with mid-century modern furniture would heighten the painting’s graphic quality, while warmer wood tones could soften its cool palette. The ideal wall color—perhaps a soft taupe or sage green—would offset the muted blues and ochres in the scene without competing. Given Vallotton’s precise lines, pair it with clean-lined decor: a lean console table or a geometric lamp. At roughly 81 x 100 cm (common for Vallotton’s larger works), it commands attention as a focal point; hang it at eye level in a well-lit area, avoiding clutter. For a bold contrast, place it alongside abstract pieces to emphasize its narrative tension, or flank it with Vallotton’s smaller woodcuts to create a curated vignette of his stylistic range.
