closed Challenge to the Baroque

Curated by: Giuseppe Dardanello e Michela di Macco

The show

Over 200 masterpieces from the most prestigious museums and collections around the world for an unmissable exhibition, set up in the grandiose spaces of the Citroniera Juvarriana of the Reggia di Venaria, a spectacular monumental complex on the outskirts of Turin, a marvel of Baroque architecture proclaimed a World Heritage Site by 'Unesco.

The Challenge to the Baroque is the one launched by artists in the name of modernity with the experimentation of new forms and new languages of communication developed between 1680 and 1750 . A research that develops between Rome and Paris , the two poles of attraction of modern Europe with which the Turin of those years wove an intense dialogue of ideas and the exchange of works and artists, which contribute to an epochal season of renewal of arts on the international stage.

Appropriating the talent of the ancients and finding it in nature is in fact the challenge taken up by artists who measure themselves against the great works of antiquity and the masters of the Renaissance and the seventeenth century to give birth to new ways of life and representation, which explore the potential of observation of truth and nature in the name of sentiment, sensitivity and grace.
