John Singer Sargent's portrait of Madame X is an iconic portrait. Popular today for reproductions, posters and as an example for portrait painters. However when it was first painted it destroyed the image of the sitter, Amelie Gautreau.
The real-life Madame X was Virginie Amelie Avegno who was born in New Orleans in 1859 to rich plantation owners. The family was hit by tragic deaths including here father's death in battle and so the young Amelie moved to Paris with her mother. Young Amelie was married well at nineteen to a forty year old banker old Pierre-Louis Gautreau.
Amelie became something of a society figure. Parisians were fascinated by her, slim and very pale, dressed in simple chic dresses and with auburn hair she was a striking and modern woman. She met John Singer Sargent when he was already a famous artist and in 1883 Amelie agreed to pose for him. Sargent decided on a simple black dress immediately, but he struggled to work out the best pose, generating a book full of preliminary sketches. Amelie didn't like to sit still for long so John Singer Sargent stayed with Gautreaus in Brittany, so he could easily do more sketches and work the portrait. Eventually he started painting. The painting was finished by March of 1884 and it was sent to be shown at the annual Paris salon.
The unveiling of the portrait was hotly anticipated. However the portrait received a critical mauling. Critics said the portrait was ugly, obscene and scandalous. In particular the fallen strap of the dress and its body-hugging quality was thought vulgar while Amelie's pale skin was said to be like a corpse. Almost immediately, Amelie went from being at the height of Paris society to being lampooned in cartoons in newspapers and magazines. John Singer Sargents reputation took a knock from which it later recovered. The Gautreaus refused to buy the portrait. To modern eyes the portrait is beautiful and still looks contemporary perhaps in the simplicity of the portrait and the dress it was ahead of it's times.
John Singer Sargent eventually repainted the shoulder strap in a straighter, more demure position. He eventually sold the portrait to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He always maintained that his Portrait of Madame X was the best work he ever did. Amelie left the society pages and indeed rarely left the house becoming a bit of a recluse. She died in July of 1915.
