This is the first major study of the Italian painter Girolamo Pieri
Nerli, who spent the last two decades of the nineteenth century in
Australia and New Zealand and is best known as a teacher of Frances
Hodgkins. The fruit of many years of research, this careful and
thoughtful book will be of considerable interest to art historians
and the general public. Nerli painted a wide range of subjects in a
wide range of styles and is associated with the introduction of
Impressionism to the Antipodes. T hough he returned to Italy his
most important work, which shows an appealing liveliness with
paint, was done in the South Pacific and most of it remains here.
His best paintings, full of colour and warmth often with attractive
human subjects, have continuing appeal and relevance to both
Australia and New Zealand at an important turning point in their
cultures. The book includes an introductory text of two chapters,
the first on Nerli's life and personality, the second on his
painting, accompanied by black and white photographs and
reproductions setting the context and evoking the era. This is
followed by 40 full-page full-colour reproductions of the most
important paintings, each with commentary on the facing page. There
will also be a chronology, a bibliography, an appendix reproducing
some vivid letters written by Nerli and his wife, and a list of
exhibitions.
