Female Portrait

Oil on canvas. Signed on the right, halfway up the canvas. It is the portrait of a woman in mourning, a young widow, as can be deduced not only from her black dress, but rather from her headdress and especially from the cameo with a male portrait, which she wears hanging from her neck. Achille Zo was a French artist (from Bayonne, a town in the Pyrenees that was culturally influenced by the Basque Country), who despite having repeatedly stayed in Paris and Bordeaux, where he trained artistically, then made several trips to Spain, both to Madrid (in 1856) and to Andalusia (1860), producing for several years works with historical subjects or Spanish genre scenes. At the end of the 1860s, he turned instead to Orientalism. There are also several portraits in his production. The painting proposed here, on the first canvas, is presented in a beautiful contemporary frame from the second half of the 19th century.

In Asia orientale le sorti della democrazia e la natura dei sistemi politici si intrecciano con il ruolo dei militari. In Cina e in Giappone, nella penisola coreana, a Taiwan, in Vietnam, Tailandia, Indonesia, Birmania gli eventi politici, la lotta per la libertà, la stessa collocazione internazionale degli stati sono il frutto delle relazioni tra civili ed élite militare. Per la prima volta in Italia un testo a più voci di affermati specialisti di Asia introduce un tema vitale per la comprensione del mondo contemporaneo.
