Giovanni Boldini was an artist who can hardly be attributed to any kind of school, genre, or even artistic movement in art.
He was an Italian origin but most of his life and career as an artist was spent in Paris where he emerged as a brilliant master of the portraiture. Most of his models were beautiful women from the higher society. Having received tremendous glory and prominence in his lifetime, Boldini was called by the press as "an unsurpassed master of brush and improvisation" because of his style of quick and inspirational drawing.
