#CeJourLà 🎨 Née le 30 octobre 1853, la peintre, sculptrice et graveuse Louise Abbéma se fait remarquer en 1876 par un portrait de Sarah Bernhardt. Portraitiste du monde des arts, elle s’illustre aussi dans les scènes de genre et le paysage.

I’ve moved over to Bluesky also as addressingart. I hope to see you there! I won’t be posting here anymore.

@Yenisey5 Where did you find this image? I’m writing a book on Louise Abbéma.

[Dr. Justine De Young @addressingart]

I am resuming my book related posting as first proofs are in and I’m just waiting on final proofs and my students’ final papers. Today a tidbit about Jeanne Demarsy, who I profile in the book. I even found one of her outrageous bills for lingerie which made international news!

1/Very happy with my cute new carte de visite album. Also the new postcard of Jeanne Demarsy (the model for Manet’s Jeanne). Here she’s playing a harem role in “Mon Oncle Barbassou,” an 1891 Gymnase production. I discovered a lot about Demarsy’s career as an actress and cocotte,

My next two weeks! Thankfully my proofs are due the day before my students’ papers come in! 😅

[The Art of Parisian Chic (2025) @art_of_chic]

Going to be a bit quieter over the next two weeks as I have final page proofs to review (and an index to assemble!). Keeping two of the women in the book close as inspiration. ❤️ Wish me luck!

Today the story of a scandal around a portrait of Alice Regnault that attracted a great deal of press coverage!

1/ Now for a story that I do discuss in the book: In the late 1870s, Giovanni Boldini, a young Italian modern-life painter was enjoying an “early rise to fame,” as one contemporary critic put it. Eager to couple the beauty and celebrity of an actress with a fashionable

This time a thread on Alice Regnault in a saucy Horse Guard uniform.

Can’t resist sharing this other recent find on eBay. Another shot of Alice Regnault by Gaston, Mathieu & Cie this time in costume as Julia, a Horse Guard in "Le Trône d'Ecosse,” which debuted at the Théâtre des Variétés on Nov. 17, 1871.

I’m going to start sharing images of some of the women discussed in my forthcoming book. These images won’t necessarily be the ones in the book, though some of them will be. Here’s a photograph of Alice Regnault, an actress at the Théâtre du Gymnase whom I discuss.

@CoraCHarrington Never fails. Always some random book in French I discover days before a manuscript is due.

@clhubes Be 100% certain. Some jobs the health insurance only kicks in after a month of employment (which is insane but nonetheless true).

@dr_cdeutsch Though romanticizing farming isn't new. You see it already in the 18th century and into the 19th cent. It seems to go hand-in-hand with urbanization.

[Dr. Justine De Young @addressingart]

@FrancescaBerry9 Thanks!

[Dr. Justine De Young @addressingart]

@mistresstailor It’s definitely 1890s. But some people are bad at math so 1800s when we’re in the 21st century sounds like it’s 300 years ago.
