From 20th March 2007 to 29th July 2007 Strozzi Palace, in Florence, will contain 100 works of art coming from the most famous international collections, among which you can find 20 masterpieces realized by Cézanne.

In particular, the presence of the works of art by Cézanne is the result of the collecting activity carried on by two far-seeing collectors who lived in Florence between the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries: Charles Alexander Loeser and Egisto Paolo Fabbri.

The two esteemers of the “master from Aix” succeeded in gathering up to 50 paintings by Cézanne in their homes in Florence, but Cézanne did not have any good notice while he was alive, while today he is considered the “father of the modern painting”.

The exhibition in Strozzi Palace has got a peculiarity, since it has put together in a unique exhibition the most valuable works collected by Loeser and Fabbri, which were scattered all over the world after the Second World War. Today these masterpieces belong to very important collections (as, for instance, the ones of The White House or of the Metropolitan Museum) that have lent their treasures for the exhibition.

In this exhibition you can see wonderful and unique works by Cézanne, as: “The five bathers” (1880), “Madame Cézanne sitting in the red armchair” (1887) and “The Marna banks” (1888).

Moreover, inside the exhibition, you can also see the masterpieces by other important artists, as Pissarro, Van Gogh, Matisse, Sargent, Denis, Cassatt, Weir, La Farge and by other contemporary Italian painters.

Now we can wish you a good vision of Cézanne exhibition, that you must absolutely not miss, because of its uniqueness and because of the possibility to know better both the art and the poetry of one of the greatest masters of the international painting.
