Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (July 12, 1884 – January 24, 1920) was an
Italian artist of Jewish heritage, practicing both painting and
sculpture, who pursued his career for the most part in France.
Modigliani was born in Livorno (historically referred to in English as
Leghorn), in northwestern Italy and began his artistic studies in
Italy before moving to Paris in 1906. Influenced by the artists in his
circle of friends and associates, by a range of genres and art
movements, and by primitive art, Modigliani's œuvre was nonetheless
unique and idiosyncratic. He died in Paris of tubercular meningitis,
exacerbated by poverty, overworking, and an excessive use of alcohol
and narcotics, at the age of 35.
