Jeanne hébuterne became a painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani model, Muse and wife. They spent a little less than three years together. He painted about 25 portraits of her. At that time, the artist drank a lot, he was haunted by thoughts of death, in 1920 he died after an illness.
When Modigliani died, Jeanne sat for a long time in silence, leaning her forehead against the windowpane. The day after the artist's death, at 4 a.m., she threw herself out of a sixth-floor window. Almost 10 years later, Jeanne's body was reburied next to her beloved modi. On their tombstone is carved: "Amedeo Modigliani, artist. Born in Livorno on July 12, 1884. He died in Paris on January 24, 1920. Death overtook him on the threshold of glory", and a little lower: "Jeanne Hebuterne. Born in Paris on April 6, 1898. She died in Paris on January 25, 1920. A faithful companion of Amedeo Modigliani, who did not want to survive the separation from him."
