My Madonna

剧情简介

Robert, a poor artist, has a vision of a wonderful Madonna. He seeks a model vainly, until he meets, accidentally, the beautiful Lucille, a woman of the demimonde. She is drawn to the shabby artist, and forsaking her fashionable acquaintances, goes to pose for him. The two fall in love and Robert paints a wonderful picture of the Madonna, using Lucille as his model. Unknown to Robert, Lucille persuades an art merchant she knows to purchase the picture, which speedily brings Robert fame and fortune. The artist and his model are married, but with the access of wealth Robert grows cold in his devotion. Robert meets the Baroness, a woman of the world, who comes to sit for her portrait, and spends most of his leisure with her. Later he meets the Baron, her husband, who has known Lucille before her marriage, and is delighted at Robert's interest in his wife, to whom he is quite indifferent, because he thinks he can thus win Lucille's affections.
