Nineteenth Century Art at GAM

The GAM museum’s 19th century collection, which has not been on public view for almost four years, is once again on display with seventy-one works including paintings, pastels, large charcoal drawings, marble sculptures, delicate plaster casts and waxes.

The itinerary compares the noble tradition of figure painting with the novelty of landscape research through 8 thematic sections that carry the visitor through the exhibition route. In the exhibition, the theme of the woman is one of the most meaningful: from being a literary subject of the Romantic era, during the course of the century the female figure becomes the focus of images increasingly similar and coherent to those of contemporary reality.
