EDITORS COMMENTS
[Countess de Castiglione, from Serie des Roses], 1895. Creator: Pierre-Louis Pierson This photograph captures the enigmatic beauty of Countess Virginia Oldoini Verasis di Castiglione, also known as the Countess de Castiglione. Taken in 1895 by renowned photographer Pierre-Louis Pierson, this albumen silver print showcases the countess in all her aristocratic splendor. Dressed in an exquisite costume with intricate details and adorned with artificial flowers, the countess stands confidently against a backdrop of nature. Her full-length dress flows gracefully around her as she gazes into the distance with an air of mystery and allure. The countess's hair is intricately styled and decorated with delicate flowers, adding to her ethereal charm. This image perfectly encapsulates the concept of elegance and sophistication that was associated with high society during the 19th century. As an Italian aristocrat living in France, Countess de Castiglione was known for her extravagant lifestyle and influential connections. She used photography as a means to express herself artistically while maintaining control over her public image. Today, this mesmerizing portrait can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it serves as a testament to both Pierson's talent behind the lens and Countess de Castiglione's enduring legacy as a symbol of beauty and grace.
