A donation for Vicenza
On the 170th anniversary of the inauguration of the Civic Museum of Palazzo Chiericati, Vicenza celebrates its tradition of generosity with an exhibition dedicated to the recent Colbacchini donation: a core of 51 works, mostly paintings and drawings, by Venetian and Veneto artists active between the second half of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth.
The Colbacchini collection largely encompasses the fertile season of lagoon and Veneto painting in the post-unitary era, characterized by the demands of realism and verism, in dialogue with the most contemporary national and European proposals: from the Macchiaioli experience to the Landscape School of Posillipo, through the revolutionary French innovations of the Impressionists, and even touching upon the nocturnal atmospheres of Symbolism.
The exhibition, which inaugurates the renewed rooms on the ground floor of the Civic Museum of Palazzo Chiericati designated for temporary exhibitions, features 40 works from the donation, along with a selection of drawings from the private collection of the donor, including works by Ippolito Caffi, Giacomo Favretto, Luigi Nono, Guglielmo Ciardi, Alessandro Milesi, Pietro Fragiacomo, Bartolomeo Bezzi, Noè Bordignon, Achille Beltrame, Cesare Laurenti, Federico Zandomeneghi, Ettore Tito, Mario De Maria, and many other artists from the fertile "season of truth" in Venice and Veneto.
Open Tuesday - Sunday and extra dates from 10 to 18 (last entry 17:30)
Closed December 25, January 1
