TURIN, ITALY – Beloved impressionist master Claude Monet stars in one of the most anxiously awaited shows of the Italian museum season as Turin’s Modern Art Gallery (GAM) opens its doors Friday October 2, 2015, to an exhibition displaying 40 of the artist’s most famous works, seven of which have never been shown in Italy.
The works are on loan from the Musée d’Orsay in Paris and include such famous titles as Les Dindons (The Turkeys), L’Eglise de Vetheuil (The Church at Vetheuil), Les Villas a Bordighera (Villas at Bordighera), and La Cathedrale de Rouen (The Rouen Cathedral). Also in the exhibition is the famed 1865 work Le Dejeuner sur l’herbe (Luncheon on the Grass), Monet’s tribute to the eponymous work by Manet.
That work will also be featured in a GAM exhibition on Monet in 2016, in partnership with the Orsay museum. This show on impressionism follows two others previously held at GAM, one dedicated to Degas in 2012 and another to Renoir in 2013.
