Margherita Leoni
Peach blossom, pink and butterflies, on gold foreground painting. Innovative

About the Item

Margherita Leoni's ability to balance botanical precision and interpretive innovation is evident in this oil painting. The canvas, partly in view and partly prepared with pure gold, enlivens the composition. The butterflies fluttering over one of the most beautiful fruit trees give movement. The mounting on frames with bevelled corners allows them to be hung without a frame Due to her sophisticated and mature style, Margherita Leoni is considered the best Italian botanical artist.

  • Snowy tree; oil on silver ground canvas. By prominent Italian botanical artist
    By Margherita Leoni
    Located in Milan, IT
    This painting can be displayed both vertically and horizontally. The artist herself prepared the background in real, stainless silver, which gives it a modern, warm surface that chameleonically matches the colours of the surrounding walls. Margherita Leoni was born and raised in Italy, however, she spent most of her adult life in San Paulo, Brazil. It was there that she started a collaboration with the botanical faculty of the local university, allowing her to developed an interesting research in rare botanical species studies and drawings. For this reason, most of her artworks, including the one presented here, illustrate Brasilian botanical species, both rare and common. The artist's mastery of watercolour allows her to take part in botanical expeditions where she paints in plein air. Given her exquisite watercolour technique and her extensive botanical knowledge, Margherita Leoni is considered the heir of Margaret Mee...
