EDITORS COMMENTS
Pauline Bonaparte, born Maria Paoletta Bonaparte (1780-1825), was the younger sister of Napoleon I and one of the most famous and enigmatic figures of the Napoleonic era. Known for her beauty, wit, and extravagant lifestyle, Pauline captivated many powerful men, making her a central figure in European politics and society. In this stunning portrait, Pauline is depicted in the prime of her youth, around the age of 25. Her elegant attire, with its intricate lace collar and flowing silk gown, reflects the opulence of the late 18th century. Her expressive eyes and confident posture convey a sense of intelligence and determination. Pauline's first marriage was to General Charles Leclerc (1732-1794), the brother of her brother-in-law, General Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Their union was short-lived, as Leclerc was executed during the Reign of Terror. Pauline's second marriage was to Prince Camillo Borghese (1775-1832), the nephew of Pope Pius VI, which made her the Duchessa di Guastalla. This marriage brought her wealth and influence, but it was also marked by scandal and intrigue. Pauline's life was filled with drama and adventure, from her romantic liaisons to her political maneuverings. She was a patron of the arts, a fashion icon, and a shrewd political operator. Her legacy continues to fascinate historians and artists, who continue to be drawn to her complex and captivating story. This image of Pauline Bonaparte is a testament to her beauty and charisma, and serves as a reminder of the fascinating and tumultuous world of the Napoleonic era.
