Lot Notes
One of the leading pompier artists of the Third Republic,Fernand Cormon achieved considerable success from the outset of hiscareer. He trained under Jean Portaels in Brussels before moving toParis to study first with Alexandre Cabanel then with EugneFromentin. These three very different characters and styles allleft their mark on the young artist and when, in 1868, Cormon madehis debut at the Salon, his Orientalist canvases were very wellreceived.
Painted in 1870, early in his career, The deposed Favouriteportrays the cut-throat world of the harem. There was often intenserivalry and power struggles between the kadins, or favourites, whoaspired to higher rank and greater power and who would employ anymeans to achieve it. This intrigue led to plots of bribery,extortion and frequently, as in Cormon's 1874 masterpiece, Jealousyin the Seraglio, murder. In the present work, as the old kadin begsfor clemency from the eunuch's waiting axe, 'the new favouriteseems singularly unconcerned about the fate of her old rival' (L.Thornton, op. cit., p. 187).
