"Renoir.
Tradition and innovation"
The
city of Limoges gave birth to one of the greatest Impressionist
artists, Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The artist was a huge fan of
music and profoundly smitten with female sensuality –
female nudes were among his favourite subjects. His first significant
experiences in the field of painting were had together with
other talented artists Monet and Sisley, with whom he painted
outdoors under the sky of Fointainebleau. Approximately 150
creations on loan from Italian and international museums go
on show and explore Renoir’s human and artistic journey.
These works are suffused with sun, light and colour; they are
snapshots of intimate and tender moments, immersed in an atmospheric
intensity.

"Paul
Gauguin. Artist of myths and dreams"
The
second act in the "10 Great Exhibitions" series celebrates
Antonio Canova 250 years after the date of his birth. Nicknamed
the new Phidias, Canova represents the apotheosis of Italian
neoclassicism, an artistic period in which mythological subjects,
political personalities and metaphysical themes were explored.
The Galleria Borghese will serve as the venue in which to admire
over 50 paintings, drawings and clay models. 16 major marble
sculptures are also on display and include some spectacular
pieces, such as the "Three Graces", the "Sleeping
Nymph", "Amor and Psyche", the “Naiad”
and the complete series of “Amorini”.

highly varied materials - oils, daguerreotypes, drawings, etchings,
original prints, period documents - tell the story of this very
important figure. Garibaldi the man and Garibaldi the hero,
his way of thinking, the world in which he operated, the world
he aspired to and for which he fought: all this awaits us at
the Vittoriano in an exhibition devised under the High Patronage
of the President of the Italian Republic.

"Bonnard-Matisse
e il Mediterraneo"
These
two geniuses of 20th century painting though profoundly different
in painting styles were united by an important and complex correspondence
and were constantly listening to, and debating with, one another.
Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse's works await us at the Vittoriano
complex where over 200 drawings, watercolours, documents, letters,
postcards, oils, sculptures and gouaches have been assembled.
These two great artists and art lovers were inspired by the
same themes - nature, landscapes and people - but they explored
them in entirely different ways.

"EDWARD
MUNCH"
The
exhibition Munch 1863-1944 has been opened at Complesso del
Vittoriano .It has been curated by Řivind Storm Bjerke and Achille
Bonito Oliva; More than 100 are present; we find paintings and
graphic works coming from the most prestigious international
museums like Munchmuseet, which preserves the artist works donated
by him to the town of Oslo just before his death. The exhibition
has been set up following a chronological path that analyzes
the development stages of Edvard Munch work: his first naturalist
paintings, the consonance with symbolism and in the end the
paintings that come just before the great expressionist season
of which the painter is considered the father and the forerunner.
Munch artistic career has been complicated and tormented as
also demonstrated by the reputation he got from official contemporary
critic; his 1892 exhibition at Künstlerverein in Berlin, stirred
up a big scandal in the academic milieau and was even censored
and shut down. Important for his cultural education was his
friendship with August Strindberg, Friedrich Nietzsche philosophy
and his trip to France such as the one taken in 1896, in Paris
where Munch got in touch with the artists and writers group
that used to meet on the " Mallarmé Tuesday" . Some of the works
present at the exhibition are: Bambina malata, Pubertŕ, Madonna,
Malinconia, Ragazze sul ponte, Il bacio, Morte nella camera
della malata, Gelosia, Separazione, all showing the existential
anguish he experienced during his life and present in all his
works, an evident proof of a life tormented by diseases, and
pain and by his family s death, in fact her sister Sophie died
in 1877, his father in 1889 and his brother Andreas in 1895.
Munch will experience physical pain because he was struck by
different illnesses as for example the eye disease which prevented
him from painting for a long time or the frequent hallucinations
and the problems due to alcohol abuse which will take him to
the sanatorium. He died in 1944 in his holding Ekely in Sköyen,
near Oslo.
