Description

The Gaudiberts were a family of merchants from Le Havre, collectors of art who were open to innovative trends. In 1868, Louis-Joachim Gaudibert commissioned Monet to do a portrait of him and then his wife, so that his parents would have a true image of their children. However, they described the portraits as 'terribly vulgar'. The profile view of the model's face, a pendant to the Camille � la robe verte portrait, focuses the eye on the treatment of the fabrics. The portrait then becomes primarily a pretext for depicting a bourgeois interior. The poor reception given to this portrait by the family - together with Monet's relative failure at the International Maritime Exhibition in Le Havre - proves that his boldest work was not yet universally recognized, and marks a step towards the end of his official ambitions.
