Watercolour

The watercolor The Artist's Atelier is an authentic and valuable work by Giovanni Boldini. Boldini, after training in his hometown (training nourished by the example of important ancient masters such as Cosmè Tura and Dosso Dossi), moved to Florence for about a decade. In 1871, seduced by Paris, he made the decision to move to the French capital.

In the tempera paintings created in the early fifties by Alberto Savinio, new types of "apparitions" appear. Nature and people are on the verge of becoming magmatic and uncontrollable matter, affected by the same process of decomposition.
