The Exhibition

In 2024 we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of the Impressionist movement, and we do it with a major exhibition at Palazzo Reale in Milan, that will give us the opportunity to compare the personalities and works of two painters, Paul Cézanne and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who contributed decisively to the fortunes of Impressionism and who influenced future generations of artists. It will open its doors on March, 19^th and it will be open until June, 30^th.

Cézanne / Renoir is an exhibition of Palazzo Reale, Comune Milano – Cultura, Skira Arte, Museum Studio, in collaboration with Musée de l’Orangerie and Musée d’Orsay, under the patronage of Ambassade de France en Italie, main partner Enel, premium partner Fineco.
It’s curated by Cécile Girardeau, curator at the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris, and Stefano Zuffi, art historian, with the collaboration of Alice Marsal, responsible for archives and documentation at the Musée de l’Orangerie.

It will present fifty-two masterpieces, offering an exhaustive insight into the work of the two artists, from the first canvases of the seventies of the nineteenth century to the most mature tests of the early twentieth century, gathered by the art dealer Paul Guillaume (1891-1934) and, after his death, by his wife Domenica (1898-1977), all kept at the prestigious headquarters of the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris, flanked by a selection of works by the two masters from the Musée d’Orsay in Paris and two canvases by Pablo Picasso.
