The museum preserves more than sixty paintings, a thousand works on paper-including pastels, watercolors, drawings, and etchings-and a rich nucleus of letters, documents, personal items, and furnishings from the Parisian home-atelier on boulevard Berthier.

In terms of richness and quality, this collection makes it possible to document Boldini’s entire career: from the works of his youth and the years spent in the Florence of the Macchiaioli, when he distinguished himself for a new interpretation of the portrait, to his daring experiences in the Paris of the Impressionists, between the 1970s and 1980s; from the great full-length official portraits for which he became world famous and of which the Museum preserves some of the greatest masterpieces, to the more intimate experiments consisting of refined still lifes, splendid views of Venice, landscapes and singular interior scenes.
