Impressionist Treasures: Monet and Normandy at Palazzo Reale in Palermo

The exhibition 'Tesori Impressionisti: Monet e la Normandia' at Palazzo Reale in Palermo presents 97 works by 45 artists from the Collection Peindre en Normandie, the MuMa in Le Havre, and private collections. Curated by art historian Alain Tapiè, the show marks the centenary of Claude Monet's death and the 150th anniversary of Impressionism. It coincides with an unusual climatic anomaly in Palermo during January and February 2026, where stormy weather and diffused light mirrored the Norman coast, creating a unique dialogue between the Impressionist studies of sky and sea and the local vedute by artists like Catti and Lojacono. The exhibition runs until September 28, 2026, at the Sale Duca di Montalto.
