L'italienne, also known as The Italian Woman, is a celebrated painting by the French artist Ernest Antoine Hébert, created in the mid-19th century. Hébert, born in 1817 and passing in 1908, was a prominent figure in the academic art scene of his time, known for his evocative portraits and genre scenes that often depicted Italian peasant life with a romantic and idealized touch. L'italienne is a quintessential example of Hébert's fascination with Italy and its people, a theme that recurs throughout his oeuvre.

The painting portrays a young Italian woman, characterized by her serene yet melancholic expression, which captures a sense of introspection and quiet dignity. Hébert's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of her traditional attire, which includes a richly textured shawl and a simple, yet elegant, dress. The background of the painting is typically subdued, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on the subject's face and the emotional depth conveyed through her eyes.

Hébert's time spent in Italy, particularly during his stay in Rome after winning the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1839, profoundly influenced his artistic style. The Italian countryside and its inhabitants became a source of endless inspiration for him, and L'italienne is a testament to his deep appreciation and romanticized vision of Italian rural life. The painting reflects the broader 19th-century European fascination with Italy, which was often seen as a land of unspoiled beauty and timeless traditions.

L'italienne has been praised for its technical excellence and emotional resonance. Hébert's ability to blend realism with a poetic sensibility has earned the painting a revered place in the canon of 19th-century French art. Today, L'italienne is held in high regard by art historians and continues to be admired by audiences for its poignant portrayal of a moment in time, encapsulating the grace and quiet strength of its subject.
