The exhibition Infinite beauty. Landscape and Environment 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 the interest and passion for these topics of numerous artists of the past, by presenting over 200 works including paintings, photographs, videos and installations.
The exhibition was made possible thanks to an agreement between the Consorzio delle Residenze Reali Sabaude and the Fondazione Torino Musei, which allowed about 100 paintings from the Civic Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art of Turin to become the protagonists of this event dedicated to the #Green theme. The intention is to introduce the general public to the green aesthetics and environmentalist sensitivity of the early Romanticism through the works of the artists and the thought of philosophers such as Immanuel Kant who celebrated a Sublime and Picturesque Nature, which evokes fear and reverence or, rather, joyful serenity.
The works on display are borrowed not only from the Civic Gallery but also from important Italian museums and private collections, including the Turin City Museum of Ancient Art in Palazzo Madama, the Royal Museums of Turin, the Pinacoteca di Brera and the Modern Art Gallery in Milan, the Gallery of Modern Art in Genoa, the Civic Museums of Brescia, GNAM in Rome, the Venice Civic Museums Foundation and the Uffizi Gallery.
