On the occasion of the exhibition “Beyond the Clouds”, organized at the XNL space of the Fondazione di Piacenza Vigevano and curated by Chiara Gatti, Paola Pedrazzini, and Gianmarco Romiti, the Giorgio Baratti Collection is participating with the important loan of a painting by Marco Ricci
The magnificent Landscape with Waterfall, an oil on canvas measuring 160 × 292 cm, painted by Marco Ricci and previously published by Egidio Martini among the collection of Palazzo Grassi in Venice, represents an absolute masterpiece of 18th-century landscape painting
The exhibition explores the theme of clouds in their visual and symbolic dimensions, spanning art, literature, cinema, and poetry
The exhibition path is entrusted to the vision of eighteen contemporary artists — Olivo Barbieri, Leandro Erlich, Laura Grisi, Jeppe Hein, Dominic Kiessling, Laetitia Ky, Piero Manzoni, David Medalla, Filippo Minelli, Marie-Luce Nadal, Mauro Pace, Gabriele Picco, Marco Ricci, Martin Romeo, Denis Santachiara, Mario Schifano, Fausta Squatriti, Alfred Stieglitz, and Storyville — placed in an ideal dialogue with key figures from both the ancient and modern worlds, regarded as iconographic references within a timeless visual tradition
