Madame Juliette Récamier Part One
Her portrait by David is one of the most iconic paintings in the Louvre’s entire collection, and attracts millions of viewers each year. As she reclines on her sofa, a sofa she popularized so much that it now bears her name, she teases us with her curly hair, rosy cheeks, and inscrutable smile. Though her image has been reproduced in countless mediums across the globe, few know that she was one of the most remarkable women of the nineteenth century, and inspired the greatest artists, writers, intellects, and politicians of her day, with not only her unrivaled beauty but with the goodness of her heart. In this episode of ArtMuse, we share the immense life story of Madame Juliette Récamier, a French socialite and famed beauty, affectionately dubbed the “darling of Europe”. In fact, her looks were so enchanting, that she drove some of the most powerful men of all of history wild with desire, including Napoleon Bonaparte, his brother Lucien, and the Prince of Prussia.

As we close season two, host Grace Anna wants to give a special thanks:
Many thanks to Erin Greenhouse, who pours her heart into mixing the episodes with such mastery, and choosing the perfect music to accompany the stories. Her production company, Kula, is phenomenal, and if there are any other podcasters listening that are looking for help with production, I cannot recommend her enough. I also want to thank her assistant, Hannah Jocelyn, who has not only helped with vocal edits but created original music for our episodes on Edie Sedgwick. I’d like to thank my dear friend Roxanne Quilty for making the ArtMuse logos, and my wonderful family, husband, and dog for always supporting me. And most of all, I want to thank you, my listeners, for your continued encouragement and support. It has been such a pleasure hearing from so many of you, and we always encourage listeners to be in touch with thoughts, reactions, and suggestions through our website and Instagram.
We are working hard on the production of Season Three of ArtMuse, which will share the stories of artist’s muses and models who were also performers in their own right.
