The exhibition pays tribute to Guido Reni, an Emilian painter, on the 450th anniversary of his birth.
His composed and luminous style, focused on the harmony of forms and the celebration of an ideal beauty derived from the sculptural models of antiquity and the sublime art of the great masters of the Renaissance, seeks majesty and elegance in the design of the decoration and furnishings of the Savoy residences and court altars.
The first section is dedicated to the works of Guido Reni that entered the ducal collections in the early 17th century.
The second presents paintings by the Bolognese master belonging to the picture gallery of Prince Eugene of Savoy Soissons, purchased after his death by King Charles Emmanuel III and brought to Turin in 1741.
A small section is dedicated to Guido Reni's graphic work belonging to the Savoy Gallery and the collections of the Royal Library.
