It is an exhibition that aims to recount the challenge of artists in the name of modernity through the experimentation of new forms and new languages elaborated between 1680 and 1750, between Rome and Paris.

An exhibition itinerary that is intended as a quest toward modern identity, with ancient fables depicted in history paintings, sacred tales in altarpieces, seduction and grace in sculptures and paintings, the design of spectacular architectural models and the precious refinement of furnishings and ornaments.
