Parisian Women in Algerian Costume (The Harem) ‎ (→‎Composition and subject: The 1872 marriage date (via Cooper) has turned out to be false according to more recent research. It is entirely unclear if this painting or Lise with a White Shawl (1872) or another was the last)

I just wanted to clarify to anyone who cares: recent research has discovered that the 1872 marriage date was false, likely invented to (understandably) protect Lise's children. Legal records uncovered by researchers in the 2000s, indicate that she wasn't married to Georges Briere de l'Isle until 1883, which puts the kibosh on the entire "stopped modeling after she married" idea. Since this has been debunked with solid evidence, more recent theories for why she stopped modeling have emerged, but lack good evidence. One of the main theories (which remains highly speculative) claims that Renoir made a proposition to a much younger girl (But as art historian John House points out, within the legal age of consent at the time) in the household of the Le Coeur family, leading to his banishment from the family circle and Lise's disappearance from his life in 1873.

Picture of the day

Parisian Women in Algerian Costume (The Harem) is a painting by the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir completed 1872. Renoir created the painting, which acknowledged the artificial nature of much Orientalist painting by making it clear that these were Parisian women in costume, in homage to Eugène Delacroix's Women of Algiers (1834). Rejected for entry to the 1872 Paris Salon and disliked by the artist, it was eventually sold for a small sum as part of a larger lot. It is now in the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo.Painting: Pierre-Auguste Renoir
