WHERE: Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara in
WHEN: since 20 September 2009 to January 10, 2010
In the fall of 2009 Diamond Palace will host an exhibition dedicated to Giovanni Boldini. Unlike the previous exhibitions devoted to the artist, the exhibition highlights works from the early period of Parisian artist '(from 1871 to 1886).
Before the portraitist of high society in Paris, Boldini was more like a painter in Paris.
In those first fifteen years he spent in the French capital, he drew every angle, every view, landscapes, studio interiors, nudes and portraits of people.
Boldini was a multifaceted artist who, like fellow Impressionists, (but with a unique and different style) ritarre heard the pulsating life of the city of lights.
Order in thematic sections, about one hundred works from the most prestigious public and private collections in Europe and America will illustrate the variety of genres and subjects treated by Boldini in these years of intense experimentation.
visitors will be welcomed in a brief prologue, mostly the work of Florentine years, an experience crucial to the formation of Boldini, not without consequences for years to come.
It then enters the heart of the show with the genre paintings of the early seventies that made the fortune of the painter among the wealthy collectors of the time, especially in America.
protagonists will be small and precious tablets feature a refined style and color shimmering, sometimes inspired by a gallant eighteenth century, sometimes fantasies exotic English style, or to scenes of contemporary life outside, hint at the artist's taste for historical re-enactment, and at the same time, interest in the transcription of the natural data and air pollution.
