Margherita Leoni
Pear branch laden with ripe fruits on a golden background

2022

About the Item

Margherita Leoni's small and precious painting presents all the fullness of thriving nature offering its fruits. As in sacred art, gold has always evoked the divine, the choice of the monochrome golden background enhances the fruit-laden branch and allows all its minute details to be appreciated. A well-known botanical watercolourist, Margherita Leoni (b. 1984) introduced the oil technique a few years ago, renewing her repertoire of plant and floral subjects with dazzling backgrounds. Innovation and the mastery of both small and large formats are among the most distinctive traits of Margherita Leoni's painting, which have earned her important international recognition.

  • 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...
