Captivating and enigmatic, Virginia de Castiglione was the muse of renowned photographer Pierre-Louis Pierson. In L'accoudee (1856-57), her poised elegance is captured in a moment of contemplation. The Gaze (1856-57) reveals her captivating allure as she gazes into the distance with an air of mystery. Pierson's lens immortalizes Virginia de Castiglione in various roles, such as La Comtesse de Castiglione en Reine de la Nuit (1863-67), where she transforms into a regal queen of the night. Giorgio de Castiglione (1861, printed 1895-1910) showcases her brother's dignified presence alongside her own ethereal beauty. In Derelitta (peintre) from the 1860s, Pierson captures Virginia's melancholic expression, hinting at hidden depths within her soul. La Finlandaise (1861-67) portrays her in traditional Finnish attire, adding an exotic touch to her repertoire. Virginia's allure extends beyond portraits; Ermitage de Passy (1863) depicts a serene moment amidst nature while Reine d'Etrurie transports us to another era with its historical references. The Red Bow series from 1861-67 highlights Virginia's ability to captivate even through simple accessories. Vittorio Emanuele II by Cesare Bernieri serves as a testament to her influence and connection with influential figures of the time. Through Pierre-Louis Pierson's lens, we catch glimpses of Virginia de Castiglione’s multifaceted persona - an enigma wrapped in beauty.
