The Macchiaioli 1850-1874. Exhibition at the Musee de l’Orangerie

Once again Paris is home to an important exhibition and once again the art being celebrated is Italian. It's always an honor to bring a piece of Italian art and culture abroad and even better if it's brought to Paris. The Macchiaioli 1850-1874 exhibition will be on display at the Musee de L’Orangerie until the 22 July 2013. It's a great chance to spend a weekend B&B Paris and visit this incredible city.

The Macchiaioli movement was born in 1850 by the rebellion of certain artists most of whom came from Florence. The term Macchiaioli, had negative connotations and was chosen by the group in order to depart from the traditional neoclassical and romantic painting of the time. They wanted to provide a new look to Italian painting and discover new ways of expressing visual art as a response to the elitist trends that dominated the era. They therefore broke with the academic tradition. The subjects of their paintings were revolutionary compared to their contemporaries and they focused on reality using drops of color. The Macchiaioli are considered the founders of modern visual art and had a great influence on Italian directors such as Luchino Visconti and Mauro Bolognini.

Don't forget that at the Orangerie Museum you can also admire Monet's large scale Water Lilies besides the splendid collection of Walter and Paul Guillaume that includes: Renoir, Cézanne, Rousseau, Derain, Picasso, Matisse, Modigliani, Soutine and Utrillo. The museum has more than one exhibition and it's possible to spend an entire day immersed in art. Between permanent collections and shows there are many visitors and it is therefore worth reserving tickets in advance on the internet especially if you are planning a weekend B&B Paris.
