十九世纪旅法意大利画家 Giovanni Boldini 画中女子，女人味十足！
乔瓦尼·博尔迪尼（1842-1931），出生于意大利画家费拉拉。1871年移居巴黎，在巴黎郊外的一些地方画了许多风景画。
他1871-1886年间的作品：从熙熙攘攘的街道和广场到咖啡馆、剧院和音乐厅——反映了他同时代人的影响：德加、马奈、凯勒博特、梅森尼耶和福顿尼等。
博尔蒂尼出生于费拉拉，是一位宗教题材画家的儿子。1862年，他到佛罗伦萨学习和从事绘画工作六年。
他很少在美术学院上课，但在佛罗伦萨，他遇到了其他被称为马基亚奥利的现实主义画家，他们是印象主义的意大利先驱。他们的影响体现在博尔迪尼的风景画中，这些风景画表现了他对自然的自发反应，尽管他最出名的是他的肖像画。
搬到伦敦后，博尔蒂尼成为了一名成功的肖像画家。他完成了包括荷兰夫人和威斯敏斯特公爵夫人在内的主要社会成员的肖像画。从1872年起，他住在巴黎，在那里他成了埃德加·德加的朋友。
19世纪末，他也成为巴黎最时尚的肖像画家，他的绘画风格具有鲜明的风格，显示出一些马基雅奥里风格的影响，这种风格让我们想起了约翰·辛格·萨金特（John Singer Sargent）和保罗·海勒（Paul Helleu）等年轻艺术家的作品。
1889年，他被任命为巴黎世博会意大利部分的委员，并因这一任命而获得了莱昂荣誉勋章。
2010年末，在巴黎的一套公寓里发现了一幅博尔蒂尼的肖像，这幅肖像是他以前的法国女演员缪斯·马尔蒂·德·弗洛里安（muse Marthe de Florian）的画像，这座公寓被隐藏了70年，没有人参观过。
这幅肖像从未被列入名单、展出或出版过，公寓属于德弗洛里安的孙女，她在第二次世界大战爆发时去法国南部居住，再也没有回来过。
一张情书和对1888年（当时这位女演员24岁）所画作品的传记性引用巩固了这幅作品的真实性。新奥尔良艺术博物馆悬挂着这位女士的全身肖像，她穿着同样的衣服和配饰，但没有那么挑逗。
Giovanni Boldini (1842-1931)Born in Ferrara, the Italian painter. moved to Paris in 1871, where painted a number of landscapes in suburban locations outside Paris.
His work from 1871-1886: the bustling streets and squares to cafés, theaters, and concert halls- reflects the influence of his contemporaries: Degas, Manet, Caillebotte, Meissonier, and Fortuny among others.
Boldini was born in Ferrara, the son of a painter of religious subjects, and in 1862 went to Florence for six years to study and pursue painting.
He only infrequently attended classes at the Academy of Fine Arts, but in Florence,
met other realist painters known as the Macchiaioli, who were Italian precursors to Impressionism. Their influence is seen in Boldini's landscapes which show his spontaneous response to nature, although it is for his portraits that he became best known.
Moving to London, Boldini attained success as a portraitist. He completed portraits of premier members of society including Lady Holland and the Duchess of Westminster. From 1872 he lived in Paris, where he became a friend of Edgar Degas.
He also became the most fashionable portrait painter in Paris in the late 19th century, with a dashing style of painting which shows some Macchiaioli influence and the style reminds us the work of younger artists, such as John Singer Sargent and Paul Helleu.
He was nominated commissioner of the Italian section of the Paris Exposition in 1889, and received the Légion d'honneur for this appointment.
A Boldini portrait of his former muse Marthe de Florian, a French actress, was discovered in a Paris flat in late 2010, hidden away from view on the premises that were unvisited for 70 years.
The portrait has never been listed, exhibited or published and the flat belonged to de Florian's granddaughter who went to live in the South of France at the outbreak of the Second World War and never returned.
A love-note and a biographical reference to the work painted in 1888, when the actress was 24, cemented its authenticity. The full length portrait of the lady in the same clothing and accessories, but less provocative, hangs in the New Orleans Museum of Art.
