Luigi Basiletti (1780-1859), Paesaggi e vedute nell’Italia del Grand Tour – Montichiari (Italy)

Luigi Basiletti (1780-1859), landscapes and views of the Grand Tour of Italy)

This exhibition reunites Luigi Basiletti’s best landscape paintings, bearing witness to the importance of this artist in early 19th century Italian painting via works that have never before been exhibited to the public. From 1803 to 1809, Basiletti set off on a long educational journey, in the form of a Grand Tour, which he retranscribed via his paintings. Basiletti presents his homeland in a romantic fashion, his descriptive accuracy proffering these places with an intensely poetic evocation.
