2020

About the Item

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 watercolor allows her to take part in botanical expeditions where she paints in plein air. Given her exquisite watercolor technique and her extensive botanical knowledge Margherita Leoni is considered the heir of Margaret Mee. Among her most important exhibitions, three of her artworks were selected by Shirley Sherwood for the Kew Garden exhibition in 2014 (London, Botanical artists of the third millennium, 2014). Furthermore, in 2016 her artworks were exhibited at Renzo Piano's Museum, MUSE, where she was protagonist of a solo temporary exhibition. She then moved back to Italy, where she is represented by Salamon Fine Art. The artwork is strechted and ready to be hung, unframed.

  • Mighty oak on a gold-leaf background by Italian botanical artist
    By Margherita Leoni
    Located in Milan, IT
    The artist has an elegant mark of nature, and the experience of working en plein air allows her to capture emotions that would otherwise not be possible. She is considered Italy's best botanical artist and collaborates with many botanical gardens where she also holds watercolour courses, a technique she masters like few contemporary artists. The artist herself prepared the background in real, stainless gold, which gives it a modern, warm surface that chameleonically matches the colours of the surrounding walls.
