Jeanne Hébuterne with Hat and Necklace is an oil-on-canvas painting by Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani created in 1917.[1]
Description
The painting shows a modern woman with her hair tucked under a stylish hat. A special attention is given to her eyes painted in a light shade of blue which comes forward on a darker background.
Modigliani met Jeanne Hébuterne, a 19-year-old art student, in the spring of 1917 through the Russian sculptor Chana Orloff. Soon Modigliani ended his relationship with the English poet and art critic Beatrice Hastings and a short time later Hébuterne and Modigliani moved together into a studio on the Rue de la Grande Chaumière.[2] Jeanne began to pose for him and became a principal subject for Modigliani's art. Modigliani depicted Jeanne Hébuterne in more than twenty works but never in nude.[3] He transformed Hébuterne into an idyllic symbol of a modern woman.[4]
A day after Modigliani’s death of tuberculous meningitis on 25 January 1920 Hébuterne being eight months pregnant, committed suicide by throwing herself from the window of her parents’ apartment.[3]
