    Hardcover. Condition: New. Distinguished by his brilliantly energetic brushwork, Giovanni Boldini (1842?1931) was one of the most prominent Italian artists of the late 19th century. Still, he has remained little known beyond his native country. This beautiful book is the first published on Boldini in English in a generation and accompanies the first major exhibition of his works outside of Europe. Born in Ferrara, Boldini moved to Paris in 1871, where he lived for the rest of his life. This important volume focuses on his work from 1871 to 1886, which reflects the influence of his contemporaries?Degas, Manet, Caillebotte, Meissonier, and Fortuny, among others. It features Boldiniâs fanciful paintings made for the art market and depictions of the city around him?from the bustling streets and squares to cafà s, theaters, and concert halls?as well as paintings of friends and models, and a selection of later portraits that established him as one of the quintessential portraitists of the Belle Ãpoque.

    Catalogo della mostra tenuta a Rovereto nel 2020. "Affermatosi come uno dei pià celebri ritrattisti della Belle Ãpoque, grazie al suo straordinario virtuosismo tecnico, Giovanni Boldini (Ferrara, 1842 - Parigi, 1931) ha saputo cogliere l'essenza di un ambiente sfolgorante, di cui à stato uno dei pià celebri protagonisti. I suoi ritratti di nobildonne, attrici, muse eccentriche e raffinati intellettuali, incontrati nei salotti mondani nella Parigi fin de sià cle, incarnano il fascino di una società allo stesso tempo decadente ed elegante, e celebrano una femminilità suprema e irresistibile, come scrissero i cronisti dell'epoca. Il catalogo ripercorre la vita e l'opera dell'artista nella sua completezza, dalle prime prove del suo precoce talento nella natia Ferrara, al suo rapporto con gli artisti macchiaioli negli anni trascorsi a Firenze, fino al trasferimento a Parigi e alla sua affermazione come ritrattista mondano, ricercato da una ricca clientela internazionale. Il piacere, evocato nel titolo, allude non soltanto a un clima condiviso tra l'arte di Boldini e l'opera letteraria di Gabriele D'Annunzio - qui illustrato per la prima volta attraverso studi e documenti inediti - ma anche all'emozione suscitata dalla sua pittura, caratterizzata da sciabolate di colore, pennellate vibranti e rapide, di grande modernitÃ. Irrequieti pionieri nelle rispettive arti e sofisticati interpreti del loro tempo, Boldini e D'Annunzio contribuirono a costituire un'estetica che fu una vera e propria nuova visione del mondo, nutrendo - come scrive Tiziano Panconi - il culto della bellezza quale sunto di eleganza e stile di vita, imprescindibilmente legato alla valorizzazione dell'arte, della cultura e dell'io." Formato: 351 p., 28 cm, bross.
