Her beauty, combined with sincerity and intelligence, subdued and artists. Great David was the first. His most famous 'Portrait of Madame Recamier' is now in the Louvre. Later, she was inspired by another great artist - Francois Gerard, and then the sculptor, Mr.. Shinara who created a wonderful bust of Madame Recamier. Something they all attracted to her, but chtoN Another woman's secret, and that they could not solve!

In a word, without any special effort she forced Paris to talk about himself, though now her name is not associated with an unusual marriage. Often talked about her salon, where she organized prazdnevstva lush, inviting celebrities who are nostalgic for the old times. Quite often there was heard and criticism of the Republicans yesterday, turns to the supporters of the monarchy.

It was the most difficult period in the life of Madame Recamier. Husband on the brink of ruin, in 1806, dying very near and dear to her people - her mother, attorneys for all of its secrets. She is torn between an aging husband and Madame de Stael, while remaining faithful to her during her exile, which led to the fact that in 1811, Julie has also been sent from Paris. But she belonged to the category of women who are not afraid of the province, where she spent the next few years. Her house and there to attract the people, regardless of age and status. Among her fans were young people, attracted by her intelligence and kindness, of which was the son of Madame de Stael, the mother fell in love with her friend, much older than himself. But Madame Recamier know how to behave with men, holding them at a distance and at the same time not pushing them. It was the face she had never passed, preferring to have loyal friends, than fans of non-permanent. Among them was, for example, the Prussian Prince August. This was the first man in her life that made her think about love, romantic and passionate. She was carried away so seriously that he asked for a divorce from her husband, but then she herself away from this step. She could not stop the aging husband (or ottsaN), to the same and then ruined it was her fault, or in other circumstances, and does not want to just be the mistress of a man who adores her. It starts with a touching correspondence between Madame Recamier and Prince Augustus, with encouraging 'yes', then with a sad 'no' and, finally, a few years later, she gives a decisive rejection.

During these years she has thirty. After the defeat of Napoleon in the Russian campaign in 1812 and at Waterloo in 1815, the emperor lived in exile on St. Helena, and France began a period of Restoration.

.

It was in these years in her salon there is another person - the famous French poet and novelist, equally succeeded at both the literary and political career, Francois Rene de Chateaubriand. The man now known as the founder of modern French literature - Standal, Balzac and Zola were after him.

. And Julie, who just turned 40, suddenly forgot about his principles that would assist her in her relations with men

It was the color of French art and science, the names included in the global culture - and all of them managed to combine Madame Recamier.

. Her name becomes a symbol to celebrate the good taste and education, it becomes a 'star' of the European scale of it is spoken in Russia and England, Italy and Germany
. But in her heart prevails Chateaubriand. By this time he was already disillusioned with politics, unsuccessfully married, and has written several philosophical treatises. And after all these Perepetui he found solace in society Madame Recamier. Having lost interest in politics, he devoted his life to literature and Julie becomes his muse, who remained with him for the next twenty years, while continuing to love him and asking nothing in return. This feeling has brought her joy of novelty.

She did not write novels and do not create pictures, but she has an amazing talent to attract extraordinary people, discovering their talents, helping and supporting them. Not everyone is obtained and portraits of each of the lobes are not located in the Louvre - the most famous museum of the world!
