Ciardi family paintings exhibited at Palazzo Sarcinelli in Conegliano

Sixty paintings by Guglielmo Ciardi and his children Beppe and Emma Ciardi are on display at Palazzo Sarcinelli in Conegliano, tracing the artistic evolution of this Venetian family from the late 19th to early 20th century. The exhibition highlights their stylistic journey from late Romanticism through Divisionism, Macchiaioli, and Impressionism, emphasizing en plein air painting and new luminous solutions. Subjects include the Venetian countryside, the Sile River, the Dolomites, and foreign cityscapes reflecting their travels. The show is divided into separate rooms: three for Guglielmo, whose dense, pasty brushwork absorbs figures into vegetation; a central room comparing all three artists; a dedicated room for Emma, whose expressive touches and ironic gaze reinterpret 18th-century Venetian vedutismo; and a final section for Beppe, influenced by Nordic symbolism, focusing on composition centers and dense clouds. The exhibition runs at Palazzo Sarcinelli, Conegliano.
