The daily life of the citizens under the paintings of the Italian painter Vittorio Matteo Corcos (1859–1933) always gives people ordinary comfort, as if the time and space in which the figures are located have been clearly experienced and recalled. He is especially good at portraying female figures, adding to the delicate emotions of his pictures. European aristocrats were vying for him to paint portraits, so we see that the protagonists of his paintings were mostly richly dressed and noble women.
Cocos was very talented, and a man of insight from his hometown provided him with a sum of money, and he was able to go to Naples to study. The highly talented Cocos soon became a student of the famous painter Domenico Morelli, who taught him to broaden his artistic horizons and develop his painting skills. In 1880, the Italian royal family purchased Cocos's works, after which he went to Paris, where he soon found success.
Living in Paris in the 1880s, he painted fashionable and energetic images of young men and women dressed casually, especially women, holding a tennis club as if he were in the 20th century, no wonder Cocos was called "the painter of beautiful women" when he was alive.
