# Elisa and her Daughter Napoléonne [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BARTOLINI, Lorenzo]() - Date: 1801-1850 - Technique: Marble, height 180 cm ## Commentary The Italian sculptor Bartolini was brought to Carrara by Elisa, the sister of Napoleon, to execute there the first of those statues of women and children for which he was to be so much appreciated. The double portrait of mother and daughter revealed the qualities which brought him success, a naturalism in rendering figures allied to classicising idealism \(mainly ornamental: coiffures, clothing\). ## Related artworks - [Bust of Rosa Trivulzio Poldi Pezzoli]() - [Charity \(detail\)]() - [Charity]() - [Elisa Baciocchi, née Bonaparte]() - [Monument to Nicolai Demidov \(model\)]() - [Monument to Nicolai Demidov]() - [The Demidov Table \(detail\)]() - [The Demidov Table \(detail\)]() - [The Demidov Table]() - [The Grape Masher]() - [The Sculptor's Wife]() - [Tomb of Princess Sophia Zamoyska \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
