Her portrait by David is one of the most iconic paintings in the Louvre’s entire collection, and attracts millions of viewers each year. As she reclines on her sofa, a sofa she popularized so much that it now bears her name, she teases us with her curly hair, rosy cheeks, and inscrutable smile. Though her image has been reproduced in countless mediums across the globe, few know that she was one of the most remarkable women of the nineteenth century, and inspired the greatest artists, writers, intellects, and politicians of her day, with not only her unrivaled beauty but with the goodness of her heart.
In this episode of ArtMuse, we share the immense life story of Madame Juliette Récamier, a French socialite and famed beauty, affectionately dubbed the “darling of Europe”. In fact, her looks were so enchanting, that she drove some of the most powerful men of all of history wild with desire, including Napoleon Bonaparte, his brother Lucien, and the Prince of Prussia.

Alice Prin, Kiki de Montparnasse Part One
Today’s episode will touch on sensitive topics such as alcoholism and addiction, so if you are sensitive to this content, please listen at your own discretion. We also want to clarify that in this episode, we will be referring to Kiki de Montparnasse by her birth name Alice Prin as we describe her early life. Once she is given the nickname Kiki, we will refer to her as Kiki. This is to be as historically accurate as possible, as well as to adhere to how we believe Kiki would have referred to herself.

ArtMuse aims to reshape the ways in which we interpret well-known works of art by paying dues to the women whose images have been immortalized but whose names and stories have been wrongfully overlooked. Each episode will focus our attention on the female muse, sharing their important lives and legacy.
