Emanuele Bellini
Bellini was born in Munich during the "Belle Epoque" era to a working-class family of Italian origin. Surrounded by an idyllic environment where the air was scented with Mediterranean flowers and fruits, encountering the colors of the sky, sun, and earth. This formed an indelible palette in the young mind of this artist. An era of horse-drawn carriages, high society, the nearby theater and opera house, all attracted and stimulated the senses of the young man who went to work as an apprentice in Nice for the architect Charles Damas, who was instrumental in the projects of the famous Paris Opera and the one in Munich.
Having then become an architect himself, in search of the purity of the line, his inner compass directed him towards the sea, the sailboats, the magical backdrop of the Casino and its gardens which continued to inspire and capture his imagination. This led him to create his iconic posters for the Automobile Club of Monaco, as well as for special galas and events in Monaco and the city of Cannes. It was only a matter of time before his paintings were brought to the attention of the outside world. He first exhibited in 1949 at the Galerie Lambert in Paris, and quickly followed by the famous Galerie Petrides, leading to many other exhibitions in various galleries in European cities. His style is unique, reminiscent of distant impressionism, but with accents of fauvism.
With his success, Bellini purchased the Italian Baroque chapel in Cannes previously owned by Princess Kara-Georgevich of Serbia. Complete with a bell tower and garden, it became his studio, and where he entertained the many luminaries who would visit him from the musicians of his time (Mireille Mathieu, Tino Rossi, Manitas de Plata...) to artists (Marie Laurencin, Maurice Utrillo, Carzou, Miro, Brayer...) to celebrities and royals (Lilly Pons, Prince Rainier III of Monaco, Mitty Goldin among many others). Here, in this splendid setting, he recreated the settings of the 1930s that intrigued him so much throughout his life with oil and watercolor paints. His love for theater and music led him to create set designs for opera houses and theaters from Paris to Monaco and Cannes. He had also created large murals hanging in municipal buildings in France and selected companies. His works are exhibited in museums and private collections from Paris to the United States (Hirshhorn Museum, permanent collection, Washington DC).
Through Bellini's work, you can experience the music, the theater, the drama, and the nostalgia for this lost era. His beloved studio was donated to the city of Cannes, where it functions both as a studio for his daughter, the artist Lucette Bellini, and as a museum in his honor.
