Description: Madrid, Fundacion Mapfre, 2019. Softcover. Softcover in white with color reproduction on the front 367 pp, generously illustrated with mostly color reproductions. Born in Ferrara in 1842, Giovanni Boldini became one of the most important Italian portrait painters at the end of the century. In 1871 he settled in Paris, where he soon became known as one of the leading painters of Montparnasse. Despite his arrival coinciding with the emergence of Impressionism, Boldini remained faithful to his own style, which would endure throughout his life. Based on the intuition of the moment and rapid brushstrokes, his paintings always manage to reflect the personality of those portrayed. This exhibition will present a retrospective of the Italian painter to the Spanish public for the first time and will show the - reciprocal - influence of Boldini on the Spanish artists with whom he coincided in a period as rich and dynamic as the Belle Époque.Published to accompany the exhibition held at Fundacion Mapfre, Madrid, Spain from September 21, 2019 until January 12, 2020.
