The Green Hat
Costantini’s ‘The Green Hat’ depicts an elegant lady dressed in her finery, in particular her new green hat, catching her own reflection for approval. Costantini has paid exquisite attention to detail to her fine clothing and this graceful lady’s green hat particularly catches the eye in contrast to her dark dress and surroundings.

Costantini began his studies in Venice where he was exposed to the works of Paul Besnard, Lucien Simon and, most importantly, John Singer Sargent. Under the influence of these artists he would copy their fluid brush work and dynamic palette.
Costantini moved to Paris in 1906 during one of the most successful periods of Costantini’s career. Here he was made a member of the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts.
During the early part of the 20th Century the artist became interested in the freshness and transparent effects of watercolours. This sensitivity to tone and shading is translated to his oils, the layers of paint, some mutedand pale, others more vibrant applied to achieve a certain tonal effect.
