Exhibit-On view from October 7, 2015 to November 5,2015
Paintings from the 19th-century Neapolitan School
The “Neapolitan School” of the 19th century encompasses a wide range of artistic schools, stylistic currents and geographic regions on the peninsula, stretching from Molise to the Abruzzo region and from Campania to Puglia. The exhibition traces the evolution of painting in this area primarily during the 19th century and into the 20thcentury.
For the first time these unique 34 works from private collections will be on view in the United States.
This exhibit honors those forebears that embarked on a most courageous journey across the ocean to ensure a better life for their families. It is also a reminder for Italian-Americans of their vibrant and beautiful cultural heritage.
