The exhibition, at the Naples National Archaeological Museum (MANN), shows 43 works by the Spanish Cubist master placed in juxtaposition with famed sculptures from the Farnese Collection and from Pompeii.
The exhibit, curated by Clemente Marconi and staged in the Farnese Collection rooms, illustrates the profound influence of one of the world’s greatest museums of classical art on one of the most important modern painters.
“We are really happy to announce the extension of Picasso and Antiquity, a show only possible at the MANN, a dialogue between the masterpieces of the classical world and the works of the Spanish genius who was influenced by them during his visit in 1917,” said museum director Paolo Giulierini.
“The show has already been a great success.”
