Artist | Jacques de Lalaing
Artist Story | Jacques de Lalaing (1858–1917) was a Belgian painter, sculptor, and photographer. Known for his dynamic compositions, he used photography extensively in his Brussels studio, capturing thousands of images - often staging his subjects, including notable figures he was commissioned to portray. Photography served as a vital tool in his creative process, allowing him to study form, composition, and atmosphere before finalising his paintings and sculptures. His multidisciplinary approach contributed to the striking realism and depth seen in his work.
Artwork Narrative | "Study of a Female Nude, Studio of Jacques de Lalaing" is a striking vintage photograph that captures the elegance and strength of the female form. The interplay of light and shadow accentuates the model’s contours, creating a sculptural quality that reflects Lalaing’s keen eye for composition. Likely intended as a study for a future painting or sculpture, the image embodies a deep appreciation for the human figure.
