École Européene (XX) - Les Liaisons Dangereuses

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Old tags on the back. - “For God’s sake, Viscount, your cynicism is as intolerable as the squawk of that peacock,” exclaimed the lady in the yellow dress, fanning herself with feigned indignation at Valmont’s remark. “Surely you have no heart for innocence?” “The Viscount de Valmont, adjusting with disdain the streamer of his crimson coat, barely hid a smile that did not reach his cold eyes. Innocence, my dear Countess, is a temporary condition that good society cures quickly. Besides, the heart is a useful organ for pumping blood, but a terrible adviser for the business of pleasure and reputation.”—Interposed the other lady, dressed in sapphire blue, stroking with a gloved hand a greyhound sniffing the edge of the pond—“If innocence is a disease, Sir Viscount, you are Paris’s most prolific physician.” Valmont let out a dry, cutting laugh—“I am not a doctor, Madame; I am an artist. And as such, I seek perfection in the most elusive work of art: the will of others.” - Unframed image dimensions: 89 x 90 cm / 102 x 103 cm with exclusive custom frame. At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of them unique, original, and unrepeatable. Each piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique—qualities that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are pieces created individually by renowned artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the foundation of our commitment to excellence, and therefore every painting or sculpture that is part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its uniqueness. Acquiring a Montbaron Gallery work means owning an irrepeatable piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will retain both its artistic and emotional value. We are proud to offer works that not only beautify spaces but also connect our clients with the richness of human expression through the most authentic art. Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves our gallery is a one-of-a-kind piece in the world, with no replicas, and a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with. Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is an administrative procedure, it is indispensable to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free international circulation. Montbaron Gallery commits to offering its clients original, unique, and unrepeatable artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every acquisition, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate certifies that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify its authorship, origin, and condition. The Certificate of Guarantee includes complete details about the piece, such as author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference to the acquired piece. This document will be sent in digital format and will be signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and endorsement. We are committed to client satisfaction and trust, so any questions about authenticity or the condition of the work will be handled professionally and diligently. To request your Certificate of Guarantee, please contact us through our usual channels. As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are committed to ensuring that each piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To that end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, who guarantee maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices shown in the advertisement are indicative and subject to modifications depending on various circumstances, including fluctuations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances such as fuel cost fluctuations or adjustments in customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed in advance before proceeding with the shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailored to each client’s needs and ensuring the work reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises. The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the work by a third party or by the seller, so it is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be exhibited immediately on your wall. Accordingly, no frame damages that do not affect the integrity of the work will be accepted as a valid reason to file a claim or request a cancellation.

We invite you to bid with passion and join us on this exciting journey toward discovery and celebration of art. Your next favorite work awaits you! The descriptions and visual presentations of the artworks included in our catalog have the sole purpose of offering a general, aesthetic, and narrative approximation of the pieces that make up the Montbaron Gallery collection. Art, by its material nature, may present color nuances or textures that vary with lighting or the user’s display settings. It is also noted that the indicated dimensions may show slight physical variations inherent in the framing process or the original support. For a rigorous inquiry, collectors are asked to refer exclusively to the detailed technical data sheet that accompanies each work, where all technical information, certified measurements, and the conservation status of the piece are specified.
