Paysage

Following Édouard Manet's Après Le Citron (1880), presented in 2024 in the Chambre des Éléments at the Villa Médicis thanks to the exceptional loan from the Musée d'Orsay on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Impressionism, this autumn the Académie de France à Rome welcomes Francis Picabia's Paysage (1909), at the invitation of Anne Berest Picabia, writer, great-granddaughter of the artist and curator of the major Italian retrospective Picabia, Ouvrir les portes de la nuit, presented in parallel at the Palazzo Reale in Milan from 9 October 2026 until 24 January 2027. Produced by MADEINART and bringing together more than 150 works from international public and private collections, the exhibition traces the artist's path through the prism of the night, viewed as a metaphor for existence and a privileged space for his creation.
