The exhibition showcases over 100 paintings of the Macchiaioli and sets out to analyze the relationship between these extraordinary artists and the “principles of the real” or “verism” with the purpose of studying the “macchia” which was the expressive modality of the second half of the 19th century to represent reality, period of maximum development of the macchiaioli movement. The exhibition includes works never seen or rarely showcased to the public, among which masterpieces by Fattori, Signorini, Lega, and Zandomeneghi.
