1780 1825 Bonaparte Borghese Bust Camillo Maria Married Napoleon Paulette Pauline Sister Le Clerc
EDITORS COMMENTS
Pauline Bonaparte, the enigmatic and charismatic sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, is depicted in this stunning bust portrait from 1825. Born in 1780 as Maria-Paulette Bonaparte, Pauline was known for her beauty, intelligence, and insatiable appetite for luxury and pleasure. She was a central figure in the Bonaparte family circle and played a significant role in the rise of her brother Napoleon to power. Pauline's first marriage was to General Charles Leclerc in 1803. Leclerc was a talented military commander and aide-de-camp to Napoleon. Their union was short-lived, however, as Leclerc died in 1804 during the failed invasion of Santo Domingo. Pauline's second marriage was to Prince Camillo Borghese in 1807. The Borghese family was one of the most powerful and wealthy in Italy, and the marriage secured Pauline's position as a member of the European aristocracy. This exquisite bust portrait captures Pauline's captivating presence and her regal bearing. Her elegant hairstyle, adorned with pearls and feathers, frames her delicate features and expressive eyes. The intricate detail of her dress and the rich textures of the fabric convey her refined taste and opulent lifestyle. Pauline Bonaparte's life was marked by scandal, intrigue, and adventure. She was a patron of the arts, a socialite, and a shrewd political operator. Her story is a fascinating chapter in the history of the Bonaparte family and the European aristocracy of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This beautiful portrait is a testament to Pauline's enduring allure and her place in history as a sister of Napoleon and a woman of extraordinary charisma and ambition.
