Young Master Of Portrait Painting

Boldini was born in Ferrara to a family of religious painter and restorer Antonio Boldini. His pious mother gave birth to ɱaпy children, and Giovanni was her eighth kid. The family had twelve kids in total. Among the brothers and sisters of the artist, there also was future architect Luigi Boldini. Being raised in an artistic environment, Giovanni started drawing earlier than talking. At five, he created a kind of workshop in the family barn. In 1850, he enrolled in the local primary school, though the studies were left very soon, as this determined and independent child wanted to devote himself to painting under the guidance of his father. Besides fine arts, Boldini was a passionate music lover and learned the harpsichord. As his father was a follower of the Renaissance masters, the young artist copied Raphaël yet started painting portraits and receiving commissions at fourteen.
