Rose Delestrade - Mars

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

In this exquisitely crafted work, we can admire the technical prowess of artist Rose Delestrade in her portrayal of the female figure. She is an artist capable of a completely naturalistic rendering, characterized by a high level of formal purity. Her female figures are highly idealized, characterized by an aesthetic that is both classical and popular. Indeed, Rose Delestrade's women are dressed in folkloric clothing, yet their form and physiognomy draw inspiration from a solemn and ancient beauty. Formally, the contours are undefined, thanks to a sfumato effect that allows the subject to interact naturally with the space. Even in monochrome, we can appreciate the interplay of shadow and light that enhances the figure's volumetric consistency.

Rose Delestrade is an artist whose research has focused primarily on the female figure. Her work draws inspiration from an ideal of beauty that is both classical and popular.
