Inspiration Du Jour - Vittorio Matteo Corcos

***
Italian painter, best known for his realistic portraits, Vittorio began as a young man frequenting the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Florence, with maestro Enrico Pollastrini. In 1880 he landed abroad and more specifically in Paris where he was able to sign a 15 years contract of cooperation with the Goupil art house frequented by Léon Bonnat, a figure of the "Parigi bene", devoted to portraits of women, scenes of everyday life with bright colors and refined touches.

"Hello, sleepy head!" he whispered.. "It's a beautiful day!" And so I discovered when we went on the terrace, as the sun filtered through the leaves turned everything into a symphony of soft greens.  The air felt warm on my cheeks for the first time in months, and that afternoon I wandered around streets of blossomed trees, fascinated by the shades of melted vermilion the town was covered in. At one point it felt like I was part of an old movie. London does that a lot, and especially when the sun makes that perfect golden hour light that is reflected in all of the windows... *** ...

Spring Transition

  We're having such a warm and beautiful weather in London. The feeling that spring is just around the corner has set a more positive energy around me.

I took these photos on Friday; in a calming and relaxing mood, it was the perfect way to start another creative and productive day. I'm really excited and looking forward to the upcoming projects and events going on in my life. Stay tuned for continuing updates. Bisous x Photos by:  B. Bhatt
