Joseph Frédéric Charles Soulacroix (1858-1933) was a French-Italian painter and sculptor who studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze (Florence). Soulacroix created romantic genre paintings of fashionable women who belonged to high society. The subjects of his paintings were often draped in velvet and fine silks, and surrounded by elegant furniture and decorations. He would include flowers and elements of nature which greatly complimented the colors and draping of his subjects’ elegant gowns.
