Actor and writer Peter Ustinov said that "If Botticelli were alive now, he would be working for Vogue", but I say that if it's true, then Giovanni Boldini (1842-1931) would be working for Elle or Cosmopolitan, or something like that. The "Master of Swish", as he was called because of his flowing style of painting, Boldini created a particular style that I'm pretty sure was a precursor for fashion designer sketches that sprung in the 20th century. Not that I'm into fashion, but these two paintings of him were beautifully executed and I really like them. Here they are: 'Ritratto di Martha Regnier' and 'Portrait of Mrs. Howard Johnston', respectively.
