The Couple by Giovanni Boldini, 1905.

Perhaps because he was so good at portraiture, Boldini (1842-1931) didn’t fully explore his artistic imagination. Often he is brushed aside by critics because he was mainly a genre painter, someone who settled for money instead of seeking true genius.

He could bring emotion to the canvass. His output, however, contains few pieces as joyfully creative as this one.

Luisa Casati (1881-1957) with a greyhound  by Giovanni Boldini

“Numerous portraits were painted and sculpted by artists as various as Giovanni Boldini, Paolo Troubetzkoy, Adolph de Meyer, Romaine Brooks (with whom she had an affair), Kees van Dongen, and Man Ray; many of them she paid for, as a wish to “commission her own immortality”. She was muse to Italian Futurists such as F. T. Marinetti, Fortunato Depero, and Umberto Boccioni. Augustus John’s portrait of her is one of the most popular paintings at the Art Gallery of Ontario; “ [SOURCE]
