Exquisite Painting of Rudolph Valentino

This is an absolute exquisite painting of Valentino as Duke de Chartres from the film, "Monsieur Beaucaire." This image was painted by artist, Gaston Albert Lavillier in 1925. Valentino actually sat for Lavillier so that he could paint this portrait. This is a fantastic example of a one of a kind item that would be invaluable to an art or Valentino collector.

  4. Yeah, that is true, I think it is the frame that gives it that museum style look to it, along with the fact that Valentino is dress in period clothing. It would be a great piece to own!
