Postmacchiaioli and Divisionists on display in Livorno (with a rediscovered masterpiece by Renato Natali)

Tuscan Postmacchiaioli and Divisionists are the protagonists of an exhibition at the 800/900 Art Studio Gallery in Livorno, which is organizing an exhibition at its headquarters in Via Roma 67 from December 2, 2023 to January 20, 2024, to display some significant works of the movement, as well as a rediscovered masterpiece by Renato Natali. Entitled Gazzarra (pictured below), it is an exceptional painting with which Natali presented himself at the Second Roman Biennale, International Fine Arts Exhibition, in 1923. Purchased on that exhibition occasion by a collector in the capital, the painting has passed from generation, to generation in the same family for a good hundred years. And after exactly one hundred years, in December 2023 this Natali masterpiece will return to Livorno, the city where it is set and was conceived. The Livorno public will be able to appreciate the chromatic accents and dynamic vitality of Natali’s stubborn quarrels at the 800/900 Art Studio Gallery.

Selected works by post-macchiaioli painters open to the twentieth century will also be on the walls: three delicate landscapes by Giorgio Kienerk, a Lady in Red portrayed by Plinio Nomellini, Vase with Daisies, Bourgeois Interior and Soldiers from Behind, three remarkable paintings by Giovanni Bartolena, and more works by Francesco Fanelli and Mario Puccini. Also on view will be more than 20 paintings executed from the early 20th century to the 1930s by Benvenuto Benvenuti, a great Livorno Divisionist, and works with fratta brushstrokes by Vittorio Meoni and Adriano Baracchini Caputi.

The exhibition is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. Closed Sundays, Dec. 8, 25 and 26, and Jan. 1 and 6. Free admission. For information: 0586 / 815200.
