Caroline Bonaparte rumored to be the model for La Grande Odalisque

[La Grande Odalisque, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, 1814. Commissioned by Caroline Bonaparte, Napoleon’s youngest sister]

Excerpt from Ingres: Painting Reimagined, by Susan L. Siegfried

The Grande Odalisque exploited the balance between ideal figures and portraits in its artistic models and pushed that equilibrium to the limit. It was easily destablized by the directness of the odalisque’s gaze, even though the face was an idealized Raphaelesque type. Indeed, Ingres was unable to control rumors that he had portrayed Caroline Murat in the Grande Odalisque […]

The rumors were hardly surprising. Caroline Murat’s kinship with Pauline Borghese must have incited speculation, especially among enemies of the Bonapartes in Italy, about the Bonaparte women’s taste for disguised portraits of themselves in the nude.

[Pauline Bonaparte as Venus, by Canova]

Moreover, in the eighteenth century the king’s mistresses used to commission portraits of themselves in the guise of sultanas, as did Madame de Pompadour in A Sultana Drinking Coffee by Carle Van Loo (1752, The State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg), so there was precedent for thinking that a “parvenu princess,” if not a mistress, may have followed suit. […]

Another ornament with a story behind it is the large and distinctively coiled bracelet worn by the Grande Odalisque. This bracelet closely imitates one in Giulio Romano and Raphael's portrait of Doña Isabel de Requesens i Enriquez de Cardona-Anglesola, known in the early nineteenth century as Raphael's portrait of Jeanne d'Aragon. Vasari identified the sitter as the vice-queen of Naples, and Ingres would easily have made the connection to the new queen of Naples, Caroline Murat.

He owned an engraving of the portrait, and he was also thinking about portrait painting at the time, since the occasion for his visit to the Royal Palace of Naples was portrait commissions of the Murat family. To identify Caroline Murat by means of a bracelet may seem obscure, and that is perhaps the case. However, Ingres’s study of ancient costume had taught him that particular articles of clothing were invested with meaning: for example, he had traced the entire history of ownership of the necklace of Eriphile, a work of Vulcan that was passed on by Venus and had dire consequences for whoever owned it.
