Three centuries of French painting in Turin

Until 4 July, Palazzo Madama in Turin will host the exhibition “From Poussin to the Impressionists. Three centuries of French painting.” It is an extraordinary selection of over 70 works from the collections of the prestigious Hermitage Museum of Saint Petersburg for an exhibition that illustrates the history of French painting from the 1600s to the end of the 1800s, from the advent of the academies to the new freedom of en plein air paintings proposed by the Impressionists. The exhibition traces all the great themes of modern painting – from the sacred to the mythological, from still life to portraits, from landscapes to genre painting - and outlines the success of French art in Russia. The works are accompanied by an insightful audio guide by Artune, with music by famous Italian artists.
