BARON JEAN-BAPTISTE-LOUIS GROS. [The Salon of Baron Gros]

[The Salon of Baron Gros]. Artist: Baron Jean-Baptiste-Louis Gros (French, 1793-1870). Dimensions: Image: 22 x 17.1 cm (8 11/16 x 6 3/4 in.). Date: 1850-57.
Gros's exceptional mastery of the technical aspects of the daguerreotype was paired with a refined visual sensibility, seen here in the richness of the setting and the subtle and seductive play of light. Every detail is perfectly calibrated-the ewer carefully silhouetted in the window, the stylish high-back chair positioned invitingly in the glancing sunlight, the daguerreotypes on the easel clearly visible despite their mirrorlike surfaces, and the closed curtains providing a theatrical backdrop. It is an interior and a still life-but most of all it is a portrait of Baron Gros's social standing, aesthetic discernment, travels, and talent.
