Dal Neoclassico al Romantico

About the exhibition

Dal Neoclassico al Romantico was presented by the Circolo Amici del Tadini in the Piazza Garibaldi wing of the Accademia Tadini palace in Lovere, from 22 May to 22 June 1981. Continuing the artistic itinerary begun with the previous year’s Barocco sul Lago d’Iseo exhibition, it examined the final phase of Lombard Neoclassicism and the beginnings of Romanticism through painting, graphic art and period furnishings. The catalogue arranged the visit by rooms and discussed the relationship between artistic taste, social customs and the Napoleonic period. Its painting room included works by Andrea Appiani, Giuliano Traballesi, Giovanni Battista Dell’Era, Francesco Hayez and Giovanni Migliara, with loans distinguished from the Tadini collection. The selected exact connection here is Hayez’s Madonna, an oil on canvas measuring 60 by 52 centimetres, listed as coming from the Galleria Tadini. The exhibition also included decorative arts, sculpture and documentary photographs; those objects are excluded from this pictorial selection. The linked checklist remains partial.
