DE NITTIS E LA RIVOLUZIONE DELLO SGUARDO
Palazzo dei Diamanti, Ferrara
The Palazzo dei Diamanti exhibit proposes a new interpretation of De Nittis’ creative trajectory, for the first time analyzing his oeuvre from a formal and technical point of view in order to highlight his unique response to the poetics of modernity. The exhibit will follow a chronological-thematic itinerary, whose structure is also inspired by a statement about De Nittis from a critic of the time highlighting the painter’s uniqueness: “A Southerner in the South, a Frenchman in Paris, and a Londoner in London.” Thus Vittorio Pica in 1914 described the universality and ante litteram Europeanism of De Nittis’ art.
