EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the beauty and elegance of Carolina Grossi, the first wife of renowned artist Peter von Cornelius. Painted by Cornelius himself in 1813 or 1814, this oil on canvas artwork showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. Carolina's enchanting presence is enhanced by her exquisite attire, adorned with a luxurious fur coat and an intricate necklace that adds a touch of opulence. Her hairstyle is meticulously arranged, framing her face with grace and sophistication. A subtle grin plays upon her lips, hinting at a sense of pride and confidence. The painting reflects not only Carolina's physical beauty but also hints at her social status as part of the German bourgeoisie society during the 19th century. The inclusion of fine details such as the delicate bracelet on her wrist and the pansy flower pinned to her shoulder further emphasize her wealth and refinement. Peter von Cornelius masterfully captures his wife's essence through his brushstrokes, creating a timeless piece that continues to captivate viewers today. This remarkable portrait can be found in Kunsthalle Hamburg in Germany, where it stands as a testament to both Cornelius' artistic prowess and Carolina Grossi's enduring allure.
