Portrait of the Noblewoman Marrocchi

1855 · Galleria Palatina (Palazzo Pitti), Florence

portrait

In this painting, the somber hues of the woman's dress and the dark green of the background are effectively set off against her white blouse and lace collar. Her motionless expression gives her an air of distance and nobility.

About the Artist

Antonio Puccinelli

1822 – 1897

Italian painter. He first attended the Florence Academy under the Romantic painter Bezzuoli, before completing his studies in Rome. After his return to Florence, he successfully pursued a career as both a history and portrait painter for distinguished patrons. His approach to portraiture was similar to that of Ingres, with his sensuous linear pattern and enamel-like colouring.
