Adèle Hippolyte Lallemand is steeped in Flemish heritage and plays with the codes of academic representation. The bouquets are carefully arranged and disturbed. Fruits and flowers are organized on the canvas so that the viewer's eye can grasp it in all its clarity. The bright colors and the attention paid to their harmony are subject to the law of the artist's drawing. His gaze is precise, his solid hand, his very fine brush. The artist's wit is to animate the still life with flying insects. For the Italian Renaissance, the fly, the bee and the butterfly have a very strong symbolism. Placed on the lips or the face of a man, it represents genius, posed on a flower, it represents its ephemeral condition and, by extension, the human condition of the spectator.

Adèle Hippolyte Lallemand is a French artist born in Paris. She lives and trains in the capital.

Pupil of Belloc, she specializes in still life painting. She is devoted to the precise and faithful representation of things in nature. Flowers and seasonal fruits are painted in watercolor and oil on canvas. Apart from the floral art in which she excels, we know some portraits of relatives ("L'Heureux du jour, Portrait de Mlle Éléonore N ...", 1845). Lallemand exhibited regularly in the Parisian Salons from 1835 to 1870.

His quality shipments were always praised by critics. "Is it painted on porcelain or on paper?" Asks AH Delaunay, editor-in-chief of the "Journal des Artistes" in 1846.
