"The Bellelli Family" is an oil painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, created between 1858 and 1867. This masterwork is considered one of Degas's most significant early works and is notable for its complex emotional content and its portrayal of family dynamics. The painting depicts Degas's aunt, Laura Bellelli, her husband, the Italian patriot and baron Gennaro Bellelli, and their two daughters, Giulia and Giovanna, in their temporary home in Florence, Italy.

Measuring 200 × 250 centimeters (78.7 × 98.4 in), the painting is remarkable for its imposing size and the formal composition that reflects the influence of traditional portraiture. However, Degas's innovative approach to subject matter and technique is evident in the psychological depth he brings to the family portrait. The figures are arranged in a domestic interior, with Laura Bellelli seated and appearing pensive, while her husband stands in the background, somewhat detached from the rest of the family. The two daughters occupy the foreground, with the elder, Giulia, sitting on a small chair and the younger, Giovanna, standing beside her, both displaying expressions that suggest a mix of childhood innocence and the formality of the occasion.

The painting's somber color palette and the spatial relationships between the figures contribute to the overall sense of emotional tension and disconnection within the family. Art historians have often interpreted the work as a reflection of the Bellelli family's complex dynamics and the strains within their marriage, as well as the broader social and political context of the time.

"The Bellelli Family" is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, having been bequeathed to the French state by Degas's heirs in 1918. It is widely studied for its rich narrative quality and as an example of Degas's early development as an artist, before he became more closely associated with the Impressionist movement and his later focus on subjects such as dancers, racehorses, and bathers.
