• Resumen

  • Adèle d’Affry, Duchess of Castiglione Colonna, stands apart from other nineteenth-century professional women sculptors due to the fact that she achieved critical success. She exhibited in Paris from 1863, adopting the male pseudonym ‘Marcello’, and endeavoured to succeed in London by contributing to exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Arts (1865–67). Marcello’s British sojourn, defined by both rapid professional triumphs and disappointments, is assessed here for the first time.
