Gioventù (Youth in Italian) is a painting by the Brazilian painter and designer Eliseu Visconti, from 1898.[1]
Visconti was educated in Paris and influenced by Impressionism, Art Nouveau and Symbolism. His work was to some extent a modern interpretation of these tendencies he got acquainted to in Paris.
Visconti drew Gioventù in Paris in 1898. This artwork was painted in oil on a canvas; it measures 65 x 49 cm and is on display at the Rio de Janeiro National Museum of Art.[1][2]
The work was first exhibited at the Salon de la Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts, Paris, in 1899, under the title Melancolie. Still with that title, it conquered the silver medal in the Exposition Universelle of 1900, in Paris.[3]
