Alexander Roslin
Alexander Roslin (often spelled Alexandre in French; 15 July 1718 – 5 July 1793) was a Swedish portrait painter who worked in Scania, Bayreuth, Paris, Italy, and St. Petersburg, primarily for members of aristocratic families. He combined insightful psychological portrayal with a skillful representation of fabrics and jewels.
In his choice of style and lustrous, shimmering colors Alexander Roslin exemplifies Rococo. He lived in France from 1752 until 1793, a period that spanned most of his career. Rococo artists opted for a more jocular, elegant and ornate style, characterized by lightness, elegance and graceful approach to art and architecture. The painting by Roslin depicting Jeanne Sophie de Vignerot du Plessis, Countess of Egmont Pignatelli, was bought by the Minneapolis Institute of Art in 2006 for US$3 million.
== Life ==
Alexander Roslin was born on 15 July 1718, in Malmö, Sweden, the son of naval physician Hans Roslin and Catherine Wertmüller. After showing an unusual talent for drawing and painting, he trained in drawing at Karlskrona under Admiralty Captain Lars Ehrenbill〔("Adliga ätten Ehrenbill nr 1515" ), Lars Ehrenbill, Tab. 2 〕 (1697–1747) in order to became a naval draughtsman, and then began to paint miniatures.〔 Stockholm had become an intellectual and artistic center since Queen Christina had established connections with Paris, and Alexander Roslin moved there. At the age of sixteen he became apprenticed to the court painter Georg Engelhard Schröder in Stockholm, studying painting there until 1741 and beginning to paint large portraits in oils.〔 Schröder was influenced by Hyacinthe Rigaud and Nicolas de Largillière.〔(Roslin, Alexander ), Web Gallery of Art, retrieved 17 February 2014.〕 In 1741, Roslin settled in Gothenburg, and the following year moved to Scania, where he remained until 1745 painting portraits〔Herman Hofberg, ("Roslin, Alexander" ), ''Svenskt biografiskt handlexikon'' (In Swedish)〕 and also creating religious paintings for the church at Hasslöv.〔
In 1745, Roslin left Sweden for Bayreuth, where he had been invited to work for the Margrave of Brandenburg-Kulmbach.〔Bo Gentili, ("Alexander Roslin 1718–1793" ), Kulturarv Malmö, 18 August 2010, retrieved 17 February 2014 〕 In 1747, he moved to Italy to study the works of the great masters. While in Italy he portrayed, among others, the family of Philip, Duke of Parma in 1752. In the same year Roslin moved to Paris, at the age of 34, where he settled for the rest of his life.〔〔 Here, in 1759, he married the pastel painter Marie-Suzanne Giroust (1734–1772).〔("Alexander Roslin" ), ''Oxford Dictionary of Art and Artists'', cited at Your Paintings, BBC.〕 The couple had three sons and three daughters.〔 In 1768 Roslin painted her dressed in Bolognese fashion, ''Lady with Veil'', a portrait that the art critic, writer and philosopher Denis Diderot judged "très piquante".〔〔 In 1767 he painted a double portrait of them both; she is depicted working in pastels on a portrait of Henrik Wilhelm Peill, while Roslin points at a gold box he received from Peill as a present.〔 The frame of the painting is inscribed ''Loin et près'' (''Far away and yet close''), showing that the portrait was a token of friendship.〔Didier Rykner, ("Two Paintings by Alexandre Roslin for Versailles and Stockholm" ), ''The Art Tribune'', 6 December 2013.〕 This painting was purchased by the Swedish National Museum in 2013.〔("Sweden's Nationalmuseum acquires family portrait painted in 1767 by Alexander Roslin" ), ArtDaily, 2013, retrieved 17 February 2014.〕
