JOHN SINGER SAGENT, Princess de Beaumont, 1884​

The work is traditionally believed to depict Princess Beaumont de Beaumont of Liège (Belgium), who married Prince Ruffo of Calabria.

The figure is elegantly dressed in a dress that reflects the style of the sixties of the nineteenth century: the dark dress is accompanied by an impalpable veil shawl to cover the bare shoulders while the sophisticated hairstyle with aigrette is in pendant with the black collar in gathered organza.

Curated by Laura Cherubini for the Russo Gallery in Rome, the exhibition presents the production of the 2000s of those colorful fragments of nature in foam rubber that the artist himself defines his business card and a selection of historical works conceived as a memorandum of the highlights of a long career. A focus that, starting from a wearable dress-nature from 1967, signals that effort to bring art into life that Piero Gilardi has always claimed as the primary mission of his artistic research..
