Le sentiment de la nature. Contemporary Art in the Mirror of Poussin

Giulio Paolini is part of the exhibition “Le sentiment de la nature. Contemporary Art in the Mirror of Poussin” at Nouveau Musée National de Monaco in Villa Paloma (Monaco). The exhibition, starting from Poussin’s feeling for nature, replies to the question “are there any artists who still depict nature elegiacally?” bringing together classical paintings with all manner of contemporary works: sculptures, installations, photographs, videos, films, paintings and drawings. The exhibition is in six sections – Storms and Nights; Forests and Gardens; Seascapes and Waterfalls; Deserts and Volcanoes; Mountains; Flowers and Butterflies – each offering a different perspective on what during Antiquity was called miracula naturae … the marvels of nature.
