How are you?
The Modigliani Institute Korea (MIK)
recently introduced two works, “Autoportrait” and “Portrait du fils du
peintre Micheli”, by Amedeo Modigliani, with the introduction of the
MIK.
The Modigliani Institute Korea (MIK) will
continue to introduce the works by Amedeo Modigliani one by one every week.
The work to introduce this week is “The
Tuscan Road” as his third work.
This work is an oil painting by Modigliani in
1899, with a size of 21 × 36 cm, when he was studying art from his first art
teacher, Guglielmo Micheli, in his hometown, Livorno.
It is also one of his early paintings that
Modigliani painted before he moved to Paris in 1906, and one of the few
landscapes he painted throughout his lifetime.
His teacher, Micheli, a painter
influenced by the Macchiaioli, encouraged students to paint outdoors, which
shows that Micheli worked in a manner close to impressionists.
This painting can be regarded as a work by
Modigliani in the manner of an outdoor painting that Micheli, his teacher,
encouraged to his pupils, and is considerably different from the style of the other
landscape paintings he later painted.
In addition, like other early works by
Modigliani, his characteristic painting styles, which are very famous to us,
are not shown in this work at all.
Thank you.
