Emilio Boggio was an Italian Venezuelan pioneering impressionist painter who lived and worked much of his life in Paris. In 1878, he discovered 19th-century French painting at the Exposition Universelle in Paris and, two years later, he entered the Academie Julian, where he was the student of Jean-Paul Laurens. He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Francais from 1887 until his death. He obtained an honourable mention in 1888, then a bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle in 1889 and a silver medal in 1900. His first solo exhibition took place in 1912, while in 1910 the Salon des Artistes Francais dedicated an entire room to his work.
