EDITORS COMMENTS
Portrait de Maria Malibran, painted by Ary Scheffer in 1831, captures the enchanting allure of the renowned Spanish contralto, Maria Malibran. The captivating image portrays Malibran in an elegant evening dress, adorned with intricate jewellery and ornaments. The vibrant color palette of the painting, with its rich hues and textures, adds to the sense of opulence and grandeur. Malibran's flowing, dark hair is styled high on her head, with delicate tendrils cascading down her shoulders. She wears a single large earring in each ear, adding a touch of sophistication to her appearance. The dress, made of luxurious fabric, fits her slender figure perfectly, accentuating her grace and femininity. Born in Spain but raised in the Netherlands, Malibran's singing career took her to Paris in the 1820s, where she quickly gained fame for her powerful and expressive voice. This portrait, painted during her time in Paris, reflects her success and status as a celebrated vocalist of the Romantic era. The painting, now held in the collection of the Petit Palais in Paris, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Ary Scheffer, a Dutch painter who was a prominent figure in the European art scene of the 19th century. Scheffer's masterful use of oil painting techniques and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects make this portrait a true masterpiece of Romanticism.
