Juliette Récamier (1777–1849), is remembered for her exquisite beauty and grace—her portrait by David hangs in the Louvre; Gerard’s in the Carnavalet—but most of all she is defined by her romantic “friendships” which brought a certain frisson to the hermetic world of the literary salon. Madame Récamier’s salon was the first one to reopen its doors after the Revolution.
