“Portrait of the Bellelli Family”, also known as “Family Portrait”, is an oil painting on canvas by Edgar Degas (1834-1917). Created between 1858 and 1867, this masterwork from Degas’ youth resides in the Musée d’Orsay. The painting captures a poignant moment within his own family – the portrait of his aunt, her husband, and their two young daughters. Degas, during his artistic training in Italy, meticulously drew and painted each family member. His aunt, Laura Bellelli, stands at the center, her countenance dignified and austere. She wears a dress symbolizing mourning for her recently deceased father, whose framed portrait looms behind her. Laura’s husband, the Baron Gennaro Bellelli, appears separated from the family. His position at the desk implies his association with business and the outside world. The two daughters, Giulia and Giovanna, reveal contrasting personalities. Giulia’s lively pose contrasts with Giovanna’s restrained demeanor, subtly hinting at familial tensions. Degas skillfully captures these dynamics, emphasizing the emotional undercurrents within the Bellelli household. The backstory adds depth to the painting. Degas visited Italy, staying with his uncle Gennaro, who had been a political journalist supporting Italy’s fight for independence. Laura confided in Degas about her exile, missing her Neapolitan family, and expressing dissatisfaction with her husband’s disagreeable and dishonest nature. These strains within the family are palpable in the composition. Art historians believe Degas struggled with the composition throughout the painting’s creation. “Portrait of the Bellelli Family” stands as a testament to Degas’ ability to convey both individual character and collective relationships. Through his brushstrokes, he immortalized a moment of domestic complexity-a family portrait that transcends time and place.
