Overview

Embark on a profound artistic journey through four centuries of European art history. This major exhibition at the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art features over 80 carefully selected masterpieces from the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum, one of Japan’s most comprehensive collections. The exhibition traces the evolution of Western painting from the structural beauty of the 16th-century Italian Renaissance and the dramatic flair of the Baroque and Rococo eras to the light-filled canvases of Impressionism and the bold expressions of 20th-century modern art.

Attendees will have a rare opportunity to see works by some of the most influential figures in art history, including Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, and Chagall. The collection also features “Old Masters” such as Tintoretto and Van Dyck, and notable historical pieces like the Workshop of Jacques-Louis David’s “Bonaparte Crossing the Great St. Bernard.” This exhibition serves as a living textbook of art, showcasing how painting shifted from a medium for conveying religious and mythological ideas to a celebration of pure form and color.
