The love story between Amedeo Modigliani and his wife Jeanne Hébuterne is romantic, but incredibly tragic. The two met in 1917, in the bohemian Montematre in Paris and quickly fell deeply in love. After moving to Nice on the French Riviera for a period, the couple had their first child, a daughter, in 1918. After Modigliani's health began to deteriorate due to tuberculous meningitis, they decided to move back to Paris the following spring, where the illness finally took Modigliani's life, a process sped up by his abuse of alcohol and drugs. Jeanne, pregnant with their second child, could not bear the grief and commited suicide by jumping out of the window of their fifth floor apartment on January 26, 1920, just two days after the death of her husband. The love they had for each other is immortalized in the more than 20 paintings Amedeo did of Jeanne.
