This artist borrowed a pose from a mural at Herculaneum for a portrait of a woman surrounded by Second Empire fashions holding her hand to her temple. In a portrait condemned as “Gothic” and “barbarous,” one of this artist’s subjects sits on a gilded, rounded throne while holding his right arm up to grasp a scepter, in a pose similar to this artist’s painting of an impassive dark-haired god with an imploring nymph. This artist of Madame Moitessier and Jupiter and Thetis depicted the back of a nude mandolin player, reusing his (*) Valpinçon Bather in a tondo. This student of David recalled his teacher’s reclining portrait of Madame Recamier in one orientalist painting and also depicted nude harem women at a Turkish Bath. For 10 points, name this French painter who included extra vertebrae in his Grande Odalisque. ■END■
