Amedeo Modigliani

Amedeo Modigliani was an Italian painter and sculptor best known for his elongated, modernist portraits and nudes. Born in Livorno, Italy, he moved to Paris, the epicentre of avant-garde art, where he developed his unique style, blending aspects of contemporary art with Italian Renaissance influences. Though plagued by ill health and a short life, Modigliani's works are celebrated for their deep expressiveness and distinctive aesthetics. Today, his art remains emblematic of the bohemian world of early 20th-century Montparnasse.
