Giovanni Boldini, 1842-1931
註釋Three sections are divided in four volumes which form this catalogue raisonn, . The major part of the correspondence is previously unpublished, the biographical data is the result of new, in-depth archive research, while the critical study of Boldini s artistic career runs from his debut in Ferrara to the vicissitudes shared with Macchiaioli, from the first Parisian years to the familiarity with Degas and the Impressionists, and his friendship with Helleu and Sargent. Over 1500 works are illustrated including oils, pastels, watercolours, drawings, which are all systematically annotated.They are testimony to the restless activity and high quality of a strongly individual artist, who was able to win universal fame as a sought-after portrait painter, through his celebrated masterpieces such as the portrait in pastels of Giuseppe Verdi, the celebrated Pastello bianco, the portrait of Whistler, of Montesquieu, the portrait of Marquise Casati and numerous other 'persona' of the Belle E poque.
