A Sicilian Woman by Jean Francois Portaels. Oil on canvas, 1861.
Intended as a gift for Prince Albert by Queen Victoria for Christmas 1861. Osborn House, York Avenue, East Cowes, Isle of Wight, UK.
Jan Frans Portaels (1818-95) studied at the Brussels Academy under François-Joseph Navez, from 1836-40. He travelled widely in North Africa, resulting in a series of works in an oriental style. Upon his return to Belgium he was made director of the Academy in Ghent, in 1847.
He was the head of a studio in Brussels from 1858 to 1870, and was known as a liberal teacher; he rejected strict academic rules and encouraged a wide variety of approaches to painting. Portaels thus exercised a considerable influence over the younger generation of Belgian artists. He resigned as Professor of Painting and Drawing at the Brussels Academy, a post held from 1863 to 1865, in order to devote himself to his private practice.
As well as paintings inspired by biblical subjects, Portaels painted a number of portraits and figures in an elegant, finished style, such as this work of Sicilian women of 1861.
In 1878 he was appointed Director of the Brussels Academy, a post he held until his death.
