For her latest series, Claudia Doring Baez reinturprets masterpieces from Le musée imaginaire de Balzac: les 100 chefs-d’œuvre au cœur de La Comédie humaine by Yves Gagneux, which itself explores the extensive references to painting and art within Balzac’s La Comédie humaine. The book reveals how Balzac used masterpieces by artists like Titian, Chardin, and Delacroix to enrich his novels, by presenting a curated selection of 100 key works of art, pairing them with the specific passages from Balzac’s work where they appear, creating a “face-to-face” between literature and art history.
This painting is included in “Claudia Doring Baez: Paris in My Head,” on view through May 29, 1026.
