I told you that Genoa is a beautiful city when I wrote about my weekend in Genoa during the Rolli Days, but there is an aspect I didn’t examine in depth: Genoa is an art city from A to Z.
Even contemporary art can find its own space in Genoa, in places such as Palazzo Stella, where Satura art gallery will host from November 12th to 23rd 2016 two exhibitions dedicated to two talented female artists: Claudia Campanella and Alice Voglino.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Mademoiselle Fleury in costume algerino (1882).
At last, the exhibition dedicated to Impressionism and its stories has arrived in Treviso.
140 works will be on display at the Museum of Santa Caterina from October 29th 2016 to April 17th 2017.
It’s a large exhibition which will never bore you, because the works on show are great masterpieces.
The tour begins with an exhibition inside the exhibition. Three masterpieces painted by three artists who influenced the art of the late 19th century with their representation of female image: “Venere che sorge dal mare” (“Venus rising from the sea”) by Titian, “The Feast of Herod” by Rubens and “A woman in bed” by Rembrandt.
From here you’ll begin an incredible journey into the history of painting which, since the 19th century, had its point of reference in France, where artists all over the world arrived and drew their inspiration from Impressionism. Among them there were the Italian artists Giovanni Boldini o Federico Zandomeneghi, but also the American painter Edward Hopper.
An exhibition devoted to Francis Bacon is always a challenge, because Bacon is a controversial artist, but at the same time he’s fascinating, and has a demanding public.
The new exhibition project by Kornice aims to give everybody the chance to know Francis Bacon, and a collection of little-known works. I gave you some information in advance about the exhibition dedicated to Francis Bacon in Treviso, and now, after the inauguration, I can tell you in detail the tour of the exhibition.
Rolli Days. I had never seen Genoa before, or better I passed it several years ago in order to reach the Port of Savona. But that day I was in a hurry, and I didn’t even get out the car to have a coffee.
Therefore, I thought that Genoa was a city leant on its port, a little bit grey, too, and I didn’t have any idea of what it could hide among its streets and alleys which I only glimpsed.
I visited Genoa during the Rolli Days on October 15th and 16th 2016, and I was amazed.
Federico Zandomemeghi, Place d’anvers a Parigi (1880) – Galleria d’Arte Moderna Ricci Oddi
Federico Zandomeneghi. I arrived in Padua on Sunday morning, when the city was slowly waking up.
From the railway station I headed for Palazzo Zabarella, and I had only the time to make some videos which I immediately published on Instagram stories, then I ended up in front of the entrance of the exhibition “L’Impressionismo di Zandomeneghi” (“Zandomeneghi’s Impressionism”).
