Description
Eliseo Sala (Milan 1813-1879) Portrait de la Princesse Doria huile sur toile oil on canvas 99.2 x 81.4cm (39 1/16 x 32 1/16in). Footnotes: Provenance With gallery Elleni, 2000 where acquired by the present owner Private Collection, Italy This refined portrait by Eliseo Sala exemplifies the artist's mature style, distinguished by psychological subtlety and technical finesse. Trained at the Accademia di Brera and later influenced by the Roman and Venetian schools, Sala became one of the leading portraitists of mid-19th century Italy, favoured by the Lombard and Savoyard aristocracy. Depicted with poised dignity, Princess Doria—likely a scion of the illustrious Genoese family—is rendered with a calm introspection that transcends mere representation. The restrained palette and precise handling of light and fabric reflect Sala's characteristic balance between academic discipline and quiet romanticism. Typical of Sala's portraiture, the work is as much a study in noble identity as it is a testament to the cultural values of the Risorgimento era.
