EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegant and refined beauty of Madame Gertrud Elisabeth Mara, born as Gertrud Elisabeth Schmeling, in the twilight of her illustrious singing career. The image, created anonymously around 1834, showcases the neoclassical style that was popular during the Romantic era in Germany. Madame Mara's regal posture and serene expression convey a sense of sophistication and poise, while her intricately styled hair and ornate headdress add to the opulence of the portrait. The delicate lithography technique used to create this print further enhances the intricacy and detail of her attire and accessories, making for a truly captivating work of art. Born in 1749, Madame Mara began her singing career in the late 18th century and quickly rose to prominence as one of the most celebrated sopranos of her time. She performed in various European courts and theaters, including those of Vienna, Munich, and Berlin. Her repertoire included operas, oratorios, and sacred music, and she was known for her powerful and expressive voice. This portrait serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Madame Gertrud Elisabeth Mara, not only as a renowned singer but also as a symbol of the artistic and cultural achievements of her time. It is a rare and beautiful reminder of the elegance and grace of the past, and a reminder of the enduring power of the arts to captivate and inspire.
