Artist Biography
The name of Luigini has a firm grasp on French artistic life. Ferdinand's father, Alexandre Luigini (1850-1906), was a leading composer of ballets and operas. His sister was a concert harpist and his nephew, Jean Tardieu (1903-1995) became a major poet. Ferdinand-Jean Luigini studied art in Paris under Emile Verhaeren. He began exhibiting his landscapes and architectural renderings in Paris in 1892 with the Salon des Artistes Francais. Within several years his art was regularly shown in London, Brussels, Amsterdam and New York.
Ferdinand-Jean Luigini was equally famous for both his large colour aquatints and for his watercolours.
