“I am a child of the North, and all I am is a part of its people and its wilderness. Wherever I am, the North will always be my homeland (in the broadest sense). I love the harsh and melancholy nature of the North, and those vivid flashes of light that Nordic artists are able to express "(Konrad Mägi, December 1907)

The Konrad Mägi exhibition arrives at the Royal Museums of Turin in the Chiablese Rooms from 30 November 2019 to 8 March 2020. Northern light, dedicated to the Estonian artist of extraordinary expressive power, made above all of color and light. Mägi is considered the forefather of modern Estonian painting and is often assimilated to artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Alfred Sisley, with whom he shares the bold use of pictorial material and light effects.
