Citroniera Juvarriana, Reggia di Venaria, Turin
Today, the debate on environmental protection, climate change, the emergencies caused by pollution and the reckless devastation caused by man to our planet is more than ever a hot topic in the international agenda. It is important to stress how similar themes such as love, sensitivity for Nature and passion for uncontaminated landscapes have inspired numerous artists of the past, from pre-Romantic painters of the late eighteenth century to contemporary masters.
The exhibition Infinite beauty. Landscape in Italy from Romantic painting to contemporary art is held in the majestic Citroniera of the Juvarra Stables, in the Reggia di Venaria, once a shelter for the citrus plants of the Gardens. Its purpose is to document such interest and passion for these topics by presenting over 200 works including paintings, photographs, videos and installations.
