Treviso:
Museo di Santa Caterina – Storie dell’Impressionismo Exhibition. The Storie
dell’Impressionismo - I grandi protagonisti da Monet a Renoir, da Van Gogh a
Gauguin exhibition, until April 17, in the Museo di Santa Caterina in Treviso is
curated by Marco Goldin. This vast exhibition tells the story of Impressionism in 140 works. The exhibition
starts with three paintings: Tiziano, Rubens and Rembrandt, highlighting what
precedes, and also prepares the way for the reaction to this new school of
painting – Impressionism. The exhibition, is divided into six sections, which allow
the visitor to follow the path of masterpieces that have marked one of the
greatest revolutions in the history of all time.

The
exhibition marks the 20th anniversary of the career of art historian
and curator Marco Goldin’s activity. Unfortunately, as with all of the
ambitious curators’ exhibitions, this beautiful show has no text, captions or
information in English and is aimed at an Italian audience. I am surprised that
with all the cost involved in producing such a big exhibition, that the City of
Treviso and the sponsors do not aspire also, to a wider international audience.
