The Composer André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry (1741-1813). Artist: Jean-Baptiste Stouf (Belgian (active France), Paris 1742-1826 Charenton-le-Pont, France). Culture: French, Paris. Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 67 1/4 x 36 1/4 x 30 5/8 in. (170.8 x 92.1 x 77.8 cm). Date: 1804-8.
Commissioned in 1804 by the Comte de Livry and placed in the Opéra Comique in 1809, where it remained until 1887. Incised on the column are the names of forty-one of the sixty-odd operas composed by Grétry for the Opéra-Comique and the Académie de Musique. The informality of Grétry's costume and pose links this work to 18th century depictions of men of inspiration and genius, such as Handel's Roubiliac.
