"When Edgar Degas first visited Italy at the age of 20 in 1854, his journey was more than the ordinary study trip de rigueur common to many French artists: he was simply returning home. Naples was his father's birthplace, where Edgar was welcomed by Hilaire, the emigre "grandfather Ilario", in the eighteenth-century palace built by Sanfelice which in the years to come the artist himself would partly own. In Florence he reunited with another part of his family in the home of his aunt Laura Degas, married to Gennaro Bellelli. While Degas was busy perfecting the art of drawing amidst the masterpieces displayed in churches and galleries, his pictorial efforts concentrated on the portraits of his Italian relatives. One of these, La Famille Bellelli, housed in the Musee d'Orsay, became the focal point of an enormous conceptual effort and this enormous, psychologically penetrating canvas is the first masterpiece of the then young artist. Largely based on unpublished archival documents and accompanied by a significant iconographic apparatus, this book helps us to understand in depth not only the personality of the various members of the Bellelli family, but also the family drama linked to the painting, which unfolds throughout the long, and in many ways unknown, gestation period of the painting. In particular, the book sheds new light on the figure of Gennaro Bellelli." Don't forget to check out other great deals in our eBay Store!!
