The French artist Jeanne-Madeleine Lemaire was well-known for her flower paintings and portraits. Her studies began with an aunt who was a miniaturist, and continued later with Chaplin. She received the Legion of Honour in 1906 and was a member of the Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts which rarely recognized women artists. The great French writer Proust visited her popular studio salon and immortalized her as the elegant hostess Madame Verdurin in his novels (movie version: Time Regained). She illustrated his first book of short stories, Pleasures and Days (1896).The Salon of Mme Madeleine Lemaire--1903 article by Proust about a visit to Lemaire's famous studio salon.
Ophelia 1880s--image of mad and sexually frustrated Ophelia, with commentary (from volume three of "Character Sketches of Romance, Fiction, and the Drama," published by Selmar Hess, New York, 1892).
