Original Description
In Princess Nina Mdivani Sitting On A Trunk, Jose Maria Sert Y Badia captures the Georgian socialite with striking drama and opulence, embodying the Roaring Twenties' decadence. The grand quasi-portrait features Princess Nina draped in luxurious fabrics, perched elegantly on an ornate trunk against a richly textured background. Sert's signature Baroque Revival style shines through in the bold contrasts, theatrical lighting, and intricate detailing, blending Old Master techniques with modernist flair. Painted during Sert's peak period of aristocratic commissions (1920s-30s), the work exemplifies his status as Europe's preeminent society portraitist, who repainted frescoes for Rockefeller Center after WWI. Its historical significance lies in immortalizing the "merry widow" Mdivani – a jet-set figure whose marriages to art-world titans like Sergei Mdivani and Alexis Mdivani made her a muse for artists from Picasso to Sert. The painting remains a pivotal artifact bridging Renaissance-inspired grandeur and Art Deco modernity.
For contemporary spaces, this masterpiece demands strategic placement to amplify its dark romantic energy. Ideal for a study with deep emerald walls or a formal dining room with gilded accents, its 6x4ft scale (estimate) requires at least 10ft of vertical clearance for proper viewing. Pair with Bauhaus leather chairs or a streamlined Marcel Breuer console to temper its Baroque excess, while maintaining harmony through shared gold/crimson tones from the artwork’s palette. In corporate settings, anchor it in a CEO’s wood-paneled office beside mid-century credenzas, using track lighting to echo Sert’s chiaroscuro effects. For residential vignettes, layer Persian rugs and velvet drapes in eggplant hues to extend the painting’s jewel-toned drama, ensuring no competing artworks disrupt its commanding presence within 8ft radius. The trunk motif invites clever styling with vintage Louis Vuitton travel pieces or stacked art books below the frame.
