Emilio Boggio (21 May 1857 – 7 June 1920) was an Italian-Venezuelan pioneering impressionist painter. In 1864 he traveled to France and studied at the Lycée Michelet in Paris until 1870.[1] In 1873, he returned to Caracas and dedicated himself to the family business. In 1877, he returned to France to join the Académie Julian[2] where he received lessons from Jean-Paul Laurens.[3] In 1888, obtained a Hors Concours (Honorable Mention) at the Salon of the Société des Artistes Français (Salon of French Artists) and in 1889, was awarded a bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris.[3]
Between 1907 and 1909, he resided in Italy, where he made a series of seascapes. In 1919, he traveled to Caracas for a few months and exhibited at the Central University of Venezuela.[3] Boggio died in France the following year.
Some of Boggio's original paintings which are "brilliantly colorful, bright, beautiful, with personal style imprint" are in the National Art Gallery of Caracas[4] and in the Palacio Municipal de Caracas.
