Giuseppe Margutti was born in Palermo in 1925. The son of a well-known lawyer, he began, despite himself, to study law. After the war he will arrive in a Paris in full artistic ferment that will finally offer him the opportunity to crown his lifelong dream: to stop as a painter and conquer world fame. The painter of the Louvre is an artist who with his imagination in 1975 managed to exhibit his painting “Inspiration” at the Louvre, which depicts a piano with candles next to a painting by Monet, causing a sensation and establishing himself in the history of contemporary art .
