EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enchanting presence of Ernesta Grisi (1819-1895), a renowned singer of the 19th century. Painted by Charles Adolphe Bonnegrace in 1866, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases Grisi in an elegant blue dress, adorned with intricate details and a flowing train. The setting is simple yet refined, with Grisi seated on a chair, her hands clasped in her lap, and a direct gaze that seems to reach out to the viewer. Grisi's posture exudes confidence and poise, reflecting her successful career as an opera singer. Her costume, reminiscent of the fashionable attire of the time, adds to the historical significance of the painting. The use of rich colors and the meticulous brushstrokes bring the portrait to life, transporting us back to the 19th century. The portrait was created during a period when Paris was at the forefront of European culture, and the arts, including music and dance, flourished. Grisi, a Spanish-born singer of Italian descent, was a popular figure in the Parisian opera scene. Her captivating performances earned her the nickname "La Divina Grisi," or "The Divine Grisi." This portrait is now part of the collection of the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, a historic institution dedicated to the history of Paris and its people. The museum, located in the heart of the city, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and a must-visit destination for art lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
