Giovanni Boldini in Impressionist Paris
Distinguished by his brilliantly energetic brushwork, Giovanni Boldini (1842-1931) was one of the most prominent Italian artists of the late nineteenth century. Still, he remained little known beyond his native country. This book is the only publication on Boldini in English a generation. Boldoini along with Jules Bastien LePage, Antonio Mancini, The Glasgow Boys, Anders Zorn, Joaquin Sorolla, Adolph Menzel, several Russian painters and more deserve renewed recognition for their contribution to Western Art.
Born in Ferrara, Boldini moved to Paris in 1871, where he lived for the remainder of his life. This important volume focuses on his work from 1871 to 1876 which reflects the influence of his contemporaries----Degas, Manet, Callebotte, Meissonier, and Fortuny.
It features Boldini’s fanciful paintings made for the art market and depictions of the city around him—from the bustling streets and squares to cafés, theaters, and concert halls—as well as paintings of friends and models, and a selections of later portraits that established him as one of the quintessential portraitists of the Belle Époque.
