EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures the enchanting presence of Jenny Lind (1820-1887), the renowned Swedish soprano, in her role as Marie in Gaetano Donizetti's popular opera "La fille du régiment" (The Daughter of the Regiment), first performed in 1840. The portrait was painted by the acclaimed French artist Léonard Poyet (1789-1873) after 1844. Lind's captivating voice and extraordinary stage presence made her an international sensation during the 19th century. She was known for her ability to convey emotion through her singing, and this is beautifully captured in Poyet's painting. The artist skillfully depicts Lind in the role of Marie, a young woman who is raised by a regiment of soldiers and falls in love with a sergeant, but must choose between him and her duty to the regiment. The painting is an oil on canvas work, and the rich colors and intricate details bring the image to life. Lind's expressive face, with its intense gaze and delicate features, is the focal point of the portrait. Her elegant costume, adorned with ribbons and lace, adds to the sense of grandeur and opulence. Poyet's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimension, drawing the viewer into the scene. The background, with its ornate gold trim and intricate patterns, adds to the sense of luxury and sophistication. This portrait is a testament to the enduring power of opera and the art of singing, as well as the extraordinary talent of Jenny Lind and Léonard Poyet. It is a beautiful and captivating work of art that continues to inspire and delight audiences today.
