"The Bellelli Family" is a monumental oil painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, created between 1858 and 1867. This masterwork is considered one of Degas's early masterpieces and a significant precursor to his later Impressionist works. The painting is a portrait of Degas's aunt, Laura Bellelli, her husband, the Italian patriot and baron Gennaro Bellelli, and their two young daughters, Giulia and Giovanna, during their period of mourning for Laura's recently deceased father.

Measuring approximately 200 x 250 centimeters (78.7 x 98.4 inches), the painting is notable for its complex emotional content and the psychological depth with which Degas renders his subjects. The composition is arranged in the Bellellis' Florence home, with the family members positioned in a domestic interior that reflects their individual characters and the tensions within the family. Laura Bellelli is seated with an air of melancholy dignity, her elder daughter stands beside her with a somber expression, while the younger daughter, Giovanna, appears more restless. Baron Bellelli is depicted standing in the background, somewhat detached from the rest of the family, emphasizing the emotional and physical distance between the family members.

Degas's use of space, color, and meticulous detail, as well as the painting's psychological acuity, mark it as a significant work in the artist's oeuvre and in the broader context of 19th-century portraiture. The Bellelli Family is also notable for its candid representation of family dynamics and the subtle interplay of personal relationships, themes that Degas would continue to explore throughout his career.

The painting is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, having been bequeathed to the French state by Degas's heirs in 1918. It remains a key work for understanding the development of Degas's artistic style and his approach to modern subject matter, as well as for its contribution to the genre of family portraiture in Western art.
