Description |
English: Christina Nilsson (1843–1921) came from modest circumstances in the province of Småland, in southern Sweden. She moved to Paris, triumphed as an opera-singer and toured all over the world. She was also an avid art collector and bequeathed more than 200 objects to the Nationalmuseum.
The opera star’s collection was typical of a person of her standing, as was her different homes, which she decorated herself. Her collection was disparate, comprising both modern works of art and objects from various historical eras. Her terse parlours were dominated by religious pictures and objects from the Middle Ages and the Baroque. More intimate salons were decorated in the Rococo style, with 18th century paintings and porcelain figurines. Modern art was shown alongside works from earlier periods. The Swedish soprano Christina Nilsson was legendary for her rendering of Ophelia in Ambroise Thomas’ opera Hamlet from 1868. The part was a difficult one. She met with success in Paris and then toured Europe and America. This portrait shows the star in the most famous scene from the opera, where Ophelia drowns herself after her passionate aria. The artist Alexandre Cabanel was famous for his historical, biblical and mythological subjects in an idealized, elegant style. He was also a highly-appreciated portrait artist who was often requested to paint celebrities.Svenska: Christina Nilsson (1843–1921) kom från enkla förhållanden i Småland. Hon bosatte sig i Paris, gjorde succé som operasångerska och turnerade världen runt. Hon var även en stor konstsamlare och testamenterade över 200 föremål till Nationalmuseum.
Operastjärnans samling och de bostäder hon inredde åt sig själv var typiska för en person i hennes ställning. Det var en brokig samling med både moderna konstverk och föremål från olika historiska epoker. I strama sällskapsrum dominerade religiösa motiv och föremål från medeltiden och barocken. Intimare salonger var inredda i rokoko med 1700-talsmåleri och porslinsfiguriner. Modern konst var oproblematiskt placerad sida vid sida med den äldre. Christina Nilssons mest hyllade roll var Ofelia i Ambroise Thomas opera Hamlet 1868. Rollen var mycket krävande. Den svenska sopranen gjorde succé i Paris och turnerade sedan i Europa och Amerika. Porträttet föreställer stjärnan i operans mest kända scen där Ofelia efter en gripande aria dränker sig. Konstnären Alexandre Cabanel var känd för historiska, bibliska och mytologiska motiv utförda i en förskönande och elegant stil. Han var även en mycket uppskattad porträttmålare – ofta anlitad av tidens celebriteter. |
