This catalogue accompanies the travelling exhibition of the work of the artist Ad\u00e8le Colonna, Duchess of Castiglione Altibrandi (1836\u20141879). She was actually born Ad\u00e8le d\u2019Affry in Switzerland and created her sculptures and paintings under the pseudonym \u201cMarcello.\u201d The death of her husband, Carlo di Catiglione Colonna, left the Roman duchess a widow at a young age and free to pursue her career as a sculptress in Paris, where she exhibited her works at the Salon from 1863. She soon established a reputation in Switzerland and Italy, too. In this lavishly illustrated book, the reader will discover the sculptures, paintings, and drawings of Marcello, in which neoclassicism competes with more modern influences. Her works are placed in relation to those by other artists of the age, such as Gustave Courbet, Eug\u00e8ne Delacroix, Berthe Morisot, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, and Henri Regnault, as well as being correlated with photographs from her archives which shed considerable light on Marcello\u2019s oeuvre.
\nThe story of Ad\u00e8le d\u2019Affry provides an opportunity to study the emergence of women artists in the nineteenth century in general and affords an insight into the subjects they were most fond of and were keenest to depict. This work analyses the art milieux that developed in Rome and Paris around the year 1870, the influence of Spanish art at the time, and the role played by fashionable salons.<\/p>\n
