Palazzo Reale in Milan presents "I Brueghel. Le origini dei generi pittorici in Europa", the first major exhibition in Italy dedicated to one of the most influential artistic dynasties of the European Renaissance.
Scheduled from 29 September 2026 to 31 January 2027, the exhibition takes visitors on a historical and artistic journey through more than 80 works, including paintings, drawings and prints, discovering a "dynasty" of painters who played a decisive role, in the Netherlands, in Italy and in the rest of Europe, in the birth of the future 'pictorial genres'.
From snowy landscapes to storms, from still lifes to peasant life and battles, the system of pictorial genres will shape modern European painting as we know it today. Promoted by Comune di Milano – Cultura and produced by Palazzo Reale and 24 ORE Cultura – Gruppo Il Sole 24 ORE.
