From February 15, 2021, the cycle of dossier exhibitions restarts at the Estense Gallery in Modena with an original focus on female painting in early 19th century Modena. The exhibition, titled A very small feminine painting. Anna Campori Seghizzi and her time, conceived by Martina Bagnoli and curated by Gianfranco Ferlisi, starts from the examination of some of the lesser-known works in museum collections to open a discussion on the female condition of that time. The exhibition presents the paintings of a noblewoman from Modena who, due to her rank and gender, could only practice painting as an amateur, producing mainly precious miniatures on ivory: Anna Campori Seghizzi (1781-1821). Alongside her, the exhibition also features the works of Maria Teresa Beatrice d'Austria d'Este of Chambord (1817-1886) who, in the domestic atelier of the court, dedicated herself with great attention to the same activity. The works of the protagonist of the exhibition, Anna Campori, daughter of Giuseppe, VII Marquis of Soliera, 37 miniatures made on ivory, arrived in the Estense collection thanks to the bequest of the daughter Giulia Seghizzi Coccapani Imperiali (1807-1895), will be visible to the public along with two portraits by Adeodato Malatesta (Portrait of Marchesa Anna Campori Seghizzi and Portrait of Marchesa Giulia Seghizzi Coccapani Imperiali) that will introduce us to mother and daughter and the intimate bond that united them. Giulia, in fact, not only left her mother Anna's paintings to the Estense Gallery, but also commissioned the posthumous portrait to the famous Modenese painter who, to execute it, used one of the miniatures of the prematurely deceased painter.
