EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic Marchesa Luisa Casati in all her aristocratic glory. Painted by Giovanni Boldini in 1908, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases the Marchesa's striking presence and her deep connection with her beloved greyhound. Dressed in a sleek black gown, the Marchesa exudes elegance and sophistication. Her purple hat adds a touch of flair to her ensemble, perfectly complementing her intense gaze that seems to pierce through the canvas. Standing confidently with a walking stick in hand, she commands attention and exudes an air of authority. The greyhound at her side symbolizes both beauty and loyalty. With its slender form and graceful stance, it mirrors the Marchesa's own poise and gracefulness. The bond between them is palpable as they stand together, united in their aristocratic world. Luisa Casati was not just an ordinary society beauty; she was known for her eccentricity and extravagant lifestyle. A muse to many artists of the time, she embraced fashion trends of the Belle Époque era while also pushing boundaries with dramatic choices that set her apart from others. Boldini's painting immortalizes this extraordinary woman who left an indelible mark on society during the early 20th century. Through his masterful brushstrokes, he captures not only Luisa Casati's physical appearance but also hints at the depth of character beneath it all. This print allows us to delve into history and witness firsthand one of society's most glamorous figures alongside her loyal companion—a testament to artistry capturing timeless elegance for generations to come.
