EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures the enchanting beauty and captivating presence of Adelina Patti, one of the most celebrated opera singers of the late 19th century. The photograph, taken by the renowned Italian photographer Charles Bergamasco (1830-1896) between 1870 and 1875, showcases Patti in her prime, with an air of elegance and sophistication that belied her youthful age. Born in Madrid, Spain, in 1843, Patti's exceptional vocal abilities were discovered at a young age, and she quickly rose to fame in Europe's major opera houses. Known for her powerful soprano voice and dramatic stage presence, she was particularly admired for her performances in the operas of Donizetti and Bellini. In this portrait, Patti is depicted wearing an ornate, high-necked gown with intricate lace detailing, her dark hair styled in an elegant chignon. Her expressive eyes, framed by long, sweeping lashes, gaze directly at the viewer, drawing them into her world. The photograph, taken in the albumen print process, showcases Bergamasco's mastery of the medium, with the fine details of Patti's costume and features rendered in stunning clarity. This portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of both Adelina Patti and Charles Bergamasco, two of the most influential figures in the worlds of opera and photography during the late 19th century. Today, it remains a cherished work of art, a reminder of the beauty and power of the human voice and the artistry of the photographic medium.
