The beggar of Livorne 1909

"The Beggar of Livorne" (1909) is a portrait by the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, known for his elongated figures and simplified forms. The painting depicts a man in a green coat, with a somber expression and a downward gaze. The figure's face is simplified and stylized, with long, almond-shaped eyes and a prominent nose. The overall composition is characterized by a sense of isolation and melancholic mood, creating a powerful portrait of a marginalized individual. Modigliani's unique style and poignant portrayal of human emotion make this painting a striking example of early 20th-century art.
