Giorgio Morandi (1890–1964) was an Italian painter and printmaker widely known for his subtly muted still-life paintings of ceramic vessels, flowers, and landscapes.

The largest public collection of Morandi’s work exists at the a branch of the Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna.

Other significant public collections of Morandi include those of the Vatican Museums, where an entire room is devoted to his work the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art in London.
