Exhibition at the Reggia di Venaria, Turin, 13 March - 14 June 2020

The "challenge to the Baroque" is the one launched by artists in the name of modernity: by confronting the great works of the Ancients, the masters of the Renaissance and the first half of the seventeenth century, artists explore the potential of observing nature, reality and feelings, experimenting with forms and languages intended for illustrious patrons and new audiences.

This exhibition catalogue presents the masterpieces created and brought to Rome, Paris and Turin between 1680 and 1750: an unprecedented journey that marks a decisive change of pace on the figurative scene. An important selection of works allows us to admire the quality and variety of the figurative production of the period: from Maratti, Trevisani, Pannini and Batoni, to the painters of the Parisian modernity, such as Boucher and Chardin, to sculptors such as Rusconi, Cametti, Cornacchini, Legros, Bouchardon, and Pigalle.
