About the Artist:
Girolamo Nerli, was born in Siena, Italy, on 21 February 1860. He was the fourth of six children of an Italian aristocrat, Ferdinando Pieri Nerli, and his wife Henrietta Medwin, an Englishwoman whose father was a minor literary figure in Byron's circle. Having studied art in Florence under Antonio Ciseri and Giovanni Muzzioli, Nerli went to Australia in 1885.
Later he was one of three professional painters, with Petrus van der Velden and James Nairn, who settled in New Zealand in the 1890s and inspired a generation with the new developments that were occurring in European art. Meeting with declining success the artist returned with his wife to Europe in 1904. He spent the rest of his life between London and Genoa, struggling against poverty because of his inability to establish a new reputation. He retained some connection with New Zealand, sending back a number of paintings for exhibition. He died in Genoa on 24 June 1926.
