From stage to painting. The magic of theatre in 19th-century painting. From David to Delacroix and Fuseli to Degas
This new exhibition provides a truly unique opportunity to admire - for the first time in
Italy - some of the masterpieces painted by the best European painters of the 19th
century, from Jacques-Louis David to Eugène Delacroix, and from Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres to Edgar Degas, to mention just a few.
All these artists were fascinated by the magic of theatre, which they adapted to their canvases with many suggestions inspired both by the literary themes of the commonly-performed tragedies and the highly-acclaimed melodramas of the time, and by the gestures, theatrical sets and (above all) illusionistic perspective of that world.
There will be approximately 200 works on display, including paintings, drawings and stage models from public and private collections throughout the world, amongst which the Musée du Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, the Kunsthaus of Zurich, the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of New York.
