Amedeo Modigliani, known for his portraits featuring elongated necks and faces, is being honoured by Italy with a major exhibition in Livorno, where the Italian painter and sculptor was born 100 years ago. The Museo della Città in the Tuscan coastal city of Livorno presents 14 paintings and 12 drawings by Modigliani, which are rarely shown to the public.
Born in 1884, Modigliani spent his youth in Italy, studying the art of antiquity and the Renaissance, before moving in 1906 to Paris, where he came into contact with artists such as Pablo Picasso. His time in Paris was marred by ill health and poverty, and he was largely underrated as an artist in his lifetime.
