Light from Italy: from Fattori to Morandi is the catalogue of the exhibition of the same name, an event of exceptional significance for Latvian and European culture.
For the first time, the Latvian National Museum of Art hosts a wide selection of masterpieces of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Italian art from the Gallerie degli Uffizi, placed in dialogue with key works of Latvian art from the late nineteenth century to classical modernism.
At the heart of the exhibition, arranged in six thematic and chronological sections, is light as an aesthetic principle, a shared language and a meeting point between different artistic traditions. The richly illustrated volume accompanies and expands upon the contents of the exhibition, conveying its historical, formal and symbolic complexity.
Published in a single trilingual edition, with texts in Italian, Latvian and English, the catalogue stands as a scholarly tool and a lasting record of an international collaboration that brings together art-historical research, cultural diplomacy and the promotion of European heritage.
