The Pinacoteca Agnelli in Turin presents "Modigliani Sottopelle. Four Masterpieces," an exhibition that places Amedeo Modigliani's "Nu couché" from its permanent collection alongside three other masterpieces by the artist. The show is grounded in advanced scientific investigations that analyze the weft and warp of Modigliani's canvases, aiming to offer new interpretations and a deeper understanding of his painting practice.
This exhibition matters because it bridges art historical scholarship with cutting-edge scientific analysis, potentially reshaping how Modigliani's technique and creative process are understood. By focusing on the materiality of the works, the show invites both specialists and the public to reconsider the artist's legacy beyond surface-level appreciation, highlighting the growing role of conservation science in art interpretation.
