From 15th June 2016, the Castello Estense hosts a new exhibition of works by Giovanni Boldini, Gaetano Previati, Giuseppe Mentessi<\/strong> and other artists active between the 19th and 20th centuries, which flanks the itinerary dedicated to Filippo De Pisis, in the sumptuous setting of the symbolic monument of Ferrara. This is a further occasion to admire the artistic heritage of the Modern and Contemporary Art Galleries of Palazzo Massari, which remained hidden after the 2012 earthquake.<\/p>\n The 2016 edition of \u201cArt for art\u2019s sake\u201d will open with a glimpse of Italian art between the 19th and 20th centuries, focusing attention on the contribution by the Ferrara artists: a short but interesting journey among some of the different directions which competed to renovate conventional art language at the end of the 19th century: from the poetics of truth to the arts of ideas, from Macchiaioli painting to divisionism, from representations of modern life to evocative Liberty decorations.<\/p>\n Among the protagonists there are artists from Ferrara, who are active on the Italian stage, such as Giuseppe Mentessi, Alberto Pisa or Arrigo Minerbi and alongside these, internationally famous people such as Giovanni Boldini, the celebrated portrait painter during the Belle \u00c9poque, and Gaetano Previati who was a spokesman for divisionism and of the Vague belonging to the Symbolism movement. The order develops through thematic rooms which recall the main research motifs between the 19th and 20th centuries: the modern portrait and its new codes, the historic-allegoric themes and the monumental and decorative dimension, the new subjects of modernity, the true landscape and the landscape of the soul, the moral and spiritual tension at the eve of the Great War.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n From \u00a0June 15th, 2016 to June 4th, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n From 15th to 30th of June: open every day, 9.30 – 13.30 \/ 15.00 – 19.00. http:\/\/www.castelloestense.it<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n 8,00 euros.
