EDITORS COMMENTS
Marietta Alboni, Countess Pepoli (1826-1894), a renowned contralto singer of the 19th century, is captured in this stunning academic oil painting by Alexis Joseph Perignon. The portrait, painted in 1870, depicts the Italian-born Alboni in the prime of her career, dressed in elegant black apparel that accentuates her refined and sophisticated image. Leaning on her elbow, she gazes off into the distance, a thoughtful expression on her face, as if lost in the music of an unheard melody. The painting, which now resides at the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, showcases Alboni's striking features and captivating presence. Her dark, expressive eyes, high cheekbones, and delicate features were the talk of the European opera scene, and her powerful voice earned her accolades and admiration from audiences and critics alike. Alboni's dress, with its intricate detailing and elegant lines, is a testament to the fashion of the time. The black color, a popular choice for formal wear during the 19th century, adds an air of mystery and sophistication to the portrait. The singer is shown holding a songbook and a musical instrument, a piano, which further emphasizes her profession as an opera singer. The painting, executed in oil on canvas, is a masterful example of academic art, with its meticulous attention to detail and realistic portrayal of the subject. The use of color and lighting adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art that continues to captivate viewers to this day.
