Description
Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (Livorno, July 12, 1884 -Paris, January 24, 1920) was an Italian painter, draftsman and sculptor, known for his portraits and nudes in a style characterized by the elongation of faces and figures. , which was not well received during his life from him, but which achieved great acceptance later. He spent his youth in his native country, where he studied the art of antiquity and the Renaissance. In 1906 he moved to Paris, where he came into contact with prominent artists, such as Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brâncuşi .. His work by him is profuse in paintings and drawings, although from 1908 to 1912 he devoted himself mainly to sculpture. During his lifetime he had little success, he lived in poverty and it was not until later that his work was appreciated and his work fetched a high price. He died at the age of thirty-five from meningitis caused by tuberculosis.
Livorno is an Italian port city on the west coast of Tuscany. It's known for its seafood, Renaissance-era fortifications and modern harbor with a cruise ship port. Its central Terrazza Mascagni, a waterside promenade with checkerboard paving, is the city's main gathering place. The bastions of the 16th-century Fortezza Vecchia face the harbor and open onto Livorno's canal-laced Venezia Nuova quarter.
