“Monarque” is a definitive masterwork by Guillaume Azoulay (b. 1949), the youngest artist ever accepted into the permanent archives of the Musée du Louvre. Renowned for his “kinetic line,” Azoulay creates an overpowering illusion of fluid motion using intricate, interwoven strokes that never seem to break.
In “Monarque,” this signature technique is elevated by the use of hand-laid gold leaf. The background radiates with a brilliant, metallic warmth, contrasting sharply with the vigorous, organic lines of the subject. The result is a work that feels both ancient and futuristic—a “Modern Classic” that adapts to any lighting environment. This specific piece is a rare Edition of 100, making it significantly more exclusive than his larger commercial runs.
