Daring Museum. Long Century of Art

In this book, the renowned Italian art historian, writer, and cultural scientist Philippe Daverio invites us on a journey through his "daring" - as he calls it - museum, where viewers will encounter many surprises. The history of art is... presented here not as a traditional succession of artistic schools and movements. In one hall, you will see works by symbolists and cubists, Pre-Raphaelites and Impressionists, who lived at different times.

But for the author, all of them are contemporaries of the Long Century, the boundaries of which - from the Great French Revolution to the end of the Second World War - are defined by fateful events for the peoples of Europe. And the people of art - writers, artists, composers - kept pace with the times, and while some were ideological fighters and others mere contemplators, all of them in different forms reflected in their works the ideas and ideals that shaped History.
