The Reggia di Venaria continues its quest begun in 2021 on the theme of landscape, widening its view to the European sphere and proposing for the first time in Italy an extraordinary exhibition dedicated to famous English artist John Constable (1776-1837).
The greatest artist of English Romantic painting is the protagonist of the exhibition that chronologically retraces his entire artistic career through the works of the Tate Museum, UK. The exhibition consists of around sixty works, ranging from sketches and small paintings executed en plein air in an early Impressionist manner, to the most important
and extensive Romantic landscapes.
Constable depicts a cozy, reassuring nature in which one can relax and fall asleep serenely.The paintings are closely associated with his life and family circumstances. The exhibition also includes works by other artists contemporary to Constable and, in some cases, some of his competitors, such as Turner, John Linnell, Benjamin West and others, whose work intertwines and compares with Constable’s. After this stop at the Reggia di Venaria, the works will return to the Tate Museum and will not be
seen outside England for a long time.
