Firenze - November 8th, 2009 - May 9th, 2010
The purpose
of the exhibition is to evoke the
extraordinary period
prior to the
Unification of Italy when Florence was one
of the European capitals of scientific
knowledge. In the first half of the XIX
century, technological development and
interest for science profoundly influenced
Italian and European society, with inedited
progress in every field of science, from
mathematics to physics, from chemistry to
biology. Fuelled by the Enlightenment
sensitivity for “useful” science, the
Galilean tradition became an instrument of
social, economic and cultural progress, and
was cultivated thanks to the farsightedness
of the Lorraine grand dukes of Tuscany.
With MUS'A, the new exhibition space, one can see the state art collection in the various rooms on the three floors of the Museum. The more than 400 paintings and drawings in the exhibition are divided into different themes (religious subjects, mythology, history, portraits, landscapes, still-lifes, genre scenes etc.). These are organized chronologically and show the work or different Italian and European artists and schools from the medieval period to the middle of the 20th Century. There is also an important collection of the works of Sardinian artists from the early 20th century and a rich collection of graphic works.

A parade of artists with two hundred and

great appeal at the MART in Trento from the

exhibition is sorted by chronological theme,
in an effort to provide a live summary of
art history. Founded thanks to a shrewd
acquisitions campaign launched at the end of
the 19th century by the Fine Arts Society of
Winterthur, and subsequently supported by
generous donations, the collection has
always concentrated on impressionist and
post-impressionist masterpieces, with works
by Degas, Sisley, Pissarro, Monet and the
post-impressionists.

Roma - October 2nd, 2009 - January 24th, 2010
The Galleria Borghese will celebrate
the four hundred anniversary of Caravaggio’s
death by displaying his masterpieces
together with twenty paintings by one of
the great artists of the second half of the
twentieth century, Francis Bacon, whose
birth centenary of falls this year. These
two extreme figures have entered the
collective imagination as “accursed”
artists, who expressed the torment of
existence in their painting with equal
intensity and creative brilliance. Their
lives separated by three hundred
years, these two disturbing figures
will encounter each other for the first time
at the Galleria Borghese, which will be
enhanced by thirty masterpieces of the two
masters from the world’s leading museums.
