Painting the Italian Landscape
Views from the Uffizi
Painting the Italian Landscape presents 45 superb works that will enhance any understanding and appreciation for Italian landscape painting. This exhibition illustrates in a chronological review the evolution of the genre from the Renaissance of Botticelli to the Baroque of Canaletto. Curated by Antonio Natali, Director of the Department of Late Renaissance Art, Mannerism and 17th Century Art and the Department of Contemporary Art for the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the exhibition is drawn entirely from the unequaled collections of the Uffizi.
In addition to Botticelli and Canaletto, the exhibition also features the works of Guercino, Filippo Napoletano as well as other famous European landscape painters, including Paul Bril, Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain. An illustrated all-color catalogue will accompany the exhibition.
