Art with the School of Resina

The exhibition “The school of Resina” will continue until 30 June. It retraces on of the most inspired artistic experiences of Neapolitan landscape painting of the nineteenth century. The exhibition offers to the public’s attention the society born in Resina in 1866, which goes together with the other great movement of the “School of Posillipo”.

The protagonists Marco de Gregorio, Federico Rossano, Giuseppe de Nittis and the Tuscan Adriano Cecioni want to scrutinize the landscape, strictly from life, making the dimension of our immense rural territory emerge, with its richness or the misery of its villages and quarters, focusing the attention to everyday activities made of habits and customs, observing small centres and isolated suburbs, but also active sea communities.

The exhibition is included in the tour to the Pio Monte della Misericordia, with the Church and the historical apartment of the Quadreria (picture gallery), which safeguards one of the most important Italian private collections open to the public, with masterpieces by Battistello, Giordano, De Mura, Ribera, Stanzione and other works from the sixteen to the nineteenth century.
