November 2024: from Monet to Renoir, the exhibition on impressionism at the Museo degli Innocenti

From 22 November to 4 May 2025 the magic of Normandy's landscapes arrives at the Museo degli Innocenti in Florence with the exhibition "Impressionists in Normandy".

150 years after the first exhibition in Paris which marked the birth of the Impressionist movement in 1874, from 22 November an exceptional corpus of over 70 works which narrates the Impressionist movement and its close links with Normandy arrives at the Museo degli Innocenti in Florence.

On the stage of this land, painters such as Monet, Renoir, Delacroix and Courbet - on display together with many others - capture the immediacy and vitality of the landscape by impressing on the canvas the moods of the sky, the sparkle of the water and the verdant valleys of the Normandy, cradle of Impressionism.

The exhibition "Impressionists in Normandy" focuses above all on the heritage of the Peindre en Normandie Collection - among the most representative collections of the Impressionist period - supported by loans from the Musée d'art moderni of Le Havre and from private collections and retraces the salient stages of the artistic current: works such as Cliffs at Dieppe (1834) by Delacroix, The Beach at Trouville (1865) by Courbet, Fécamp (1881) by Monet, Sunset, view of Guernesey (1893) by Renoir - among the masterpieces in the exhibition - tell the exchanges, comparisons and collaborations between the greatest artists of the time who - immersed in a dazzling nature with intense colors and sparkling panoramas - gave Normandy the emblematic image of the happiness of painting.

With the patronage of the Municipality of Florence, the exhibition is produced and organized by Arthemisia in collaboration with Cristoforo, BRIDGECONSULTINGpro and PONTENOVE GMBH and is curated by Alain Tapié.
