Tuscany to host 'exclusive' Boldini exhibition

'Boldini Mon Amour', opens on September 18th and showcases over 100 paintings by Giovanni Boldini, according to Ansa.it.

Commenting on the exhibition, curator Tiziano Panconi said the exhibition would be unlike any previous ones.

''Only 30 of the 110 paintings on show come from museums. I personally selected less well-known pieces from private collections in a bid to avoid crossovers with exhibits in Padua and Rome three years ago," he explained.

Known for his exquisite landscapes and Parisian cityscapes, Boldini was also famous for the way in which he depicted beautiful women.

Boldini was said to be "fascinated by the female universe" and created dozens of glamorous portraits of high-society women.

Meanwhile, for art lovers holidaying in Tuscany, a visit would not be complete without a trip to the famous Uffizi Gallery in Florence, where the work of Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Botticelli is on display.
