    Emiliana Concha de Ossa came from a wealthy merchant family and was the niece of the Cuban diplomat Luis Subercaseuse. Emiliana grew up in Paris , where she received extensive training. She spoke several foreign languages ??and showed an artistic interest early on. She received her first drawing lessons from the famous portrait painter Giovanni Boldini and became his preferred model and muse.
    Oil on canvas by painter Ossa . location italy castle called the angel of the castle =Initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The popes converted the structure into a castle. In 1277 Pope Nicholas III connected the Castle to St Peter’s Basilica by a covered fortified corridor called the Passetto di Borgo, or simply Passetto, an approximately 800 meters long elevated passage, built on the ancient walls that delimited the Leonina Citadel. This was an escape route for the Pope to escape to the Castel in case of danger. It offers a wonderful and unusual point of view on the Eternal City. i dont know who the painter was but i have a hunch that the painter was the muse for famous painter Giovanni Boldini. ossa was a wealthy artist whom studied art in paris and met this famous artist.. but if you have any info about this painting pls let me know. thank you
