On July 14th, the exhibition "Guests/2 - Angelo Morbelli. Forever." opens. On this occasion, the house of Count Tadini opens, ideally offering a glimpse into other houses and collections, identifying the curiosity of the collector and the quality of the proposals as the common thread.
The main work, Morbelli, Forever (oil on canvas, 87×135 cm), also known as Terrace on Lake Iseo, exhibited for the first time to the public in 1906 at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Milan, presents in the background a view of the lake taken from the garden of Villa Caprera in Bossico.
The extraordinary canvas is prepared from sketches for both the landscape, executed also through the use of photography, and for the female figure. At least three versions are known: in addition to the one from Zitti donated by Don Gino Angelico Scalzi to the Tadini Academy, there is a very similar version in a private collection and a third one recently passed through the antique market and now in a private collection. The three sketches will be exhibited alongside the main canvas thanks to the kind collaboration of collectors and the Quadreria dell’800, Milan.
The canvas represents one of Morbelli's most mature outcomes also due to the adoption of the divisionist technique: the "much-ridiculed theory of dots, which we call color division," as noted by the artist himself in one of his letters.
