Day for Night: New American Realism

More than 150 works by American artists from the major art collection>Works by emerging artists are presented alongside the work of significant predecessors who have anticipated recent reflections on the concept of verism and representation. This reflection on realism finds an original and extraordinary setting in the National Galleries of Ancient Art at Palazzo Barberini in Rome, which house the world's largest collection of works by so-called "Caravaggisti", the painters who, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, participated in completely reconfiguring the naturalistic representation of reality, profoundly affecting the history of Italian and European art.
