Joachim-Raphaël Boronali was a fictitious Italian painter created as an invention of writer and critic Roland Dorgelès who created paintings on canvas by tying a paintbrush to the tail of a donkey named Lolo.[1]
A painting by the donkey, Et le soleil s'endormit sur l'Adriatique [fr] (Sunset Over the Adriatic) was exhibited at the 1910 Salon des Indépendants attributed to the 'excessivist' Genoan painter. The painting sold for 400 francs (~ $1400 in 2024 value) and was donated by Dorgelès to the Orphelinat des Arts.[2] The painting forms part of the permanent collection at l'Espace culturel Paul Bédu (Milly-la-Forêt).
