2025 at the Bassano Civic Museums, between initiatives and major exhibitions

For the first time, Segantini’s works will be in direct dialogue with those of major European artists of his time, including Millet and Van Gogh, highlighting his influence on the most important artistic movements of the late 19th century. Born in Arco into a humble family, Segantini trained in the workshop of decorator Luigi Tettamanzi before attending evening classes at the Accademia di Brera. From his early years in Milan to his relocation to Brianza and later to the Rhaetian Alps, his work was shaped by a profound communion with nature and a relentless exploration of light and color. This pursuit ultimately led him to Divisionism and culminated in a symbolic and pantheistic reinterpretation of Alpine landscapes, rendered eternal through his masterful technique. The exhibition follows the key moments of his artistic and biographical journey, from his early “Scapigliati” influences to pastoral scenes, from bold experiments in color to his final, lyrical attempts to capture the spirit of the mountains. The chronological and geographical itinerary unfolds in four sections, enriched by thematic insights.
