Painting the Italian Landscape

Painting the Italian Landscape: Views From the Uffizi
A selection of forty landscape paintings from the Uffizi Gallery in Florence surveys the evolution of landscape painting in Italy over three centuries, from the Renaissance through the 18th century. Included are works by such great European painters as Botticelli, Guercino, Poussin, Claude Lorrain, and Canaletto.

The exhibition begins in the late 15th century when landscape often served as a backdrop for sacred and historical subjects. It then passes to the great century of the development of pure landscape, the 17th century. The arrival in Italy of Northern European artists such as Paul Bril, Jacob Pynas, and Adrien van de Velde helped to stimulate the new form. Italian artists contributed to this evolution, too: Filippo Napolitano of Naples, Alessandro Magnasco of Genoa, and Giovanni Canaletto from Venice introduced original and influential new forms of landscape. Altogether, the landscapes painted in Italy formed the basis of the European landscape tradition, as seen in the Taft Museum of Art's own collection. The exhibition curator, Antonio Natali, is the director of the Uffizi. The exhibition organizer is Contemporanea Progetti in Florence and the Trust for Museum exhibitions.

The Taft Museum of Art is at 316 Pike St., in downtown Cincinnati. The Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $8, $6 for seniors over 60, teachers, and students and free to everyone on Wednesday. Children under 18 are free.
