Souvenir d’Italie. Drawings and Watercolors of the Horne Collection

6 April – 30 July 2019

The exhibition is a tribute to Italy and its evocative natural and urban sceneries, which have inspired many artists over the centuries. These masters, foreigners and locals, through city views, landscapes and capricci, have contributed to create and spread out an idea of Italy that still remains in the collective imaginary.The twenty-two drawings on display, made between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, provide accounts of travelers and temporary residents, evoke encounters and conversations, refer to those who regarded Italy as a second home, like the French Claude Lorrain, and those who have paid a tribute to Italy through their art, like the Venetian Francesco Guardi.
