The natural beauty of the Tuscan province of Lucca in the early 1900s will be on display in the show 'Painting the Enchantment: Painters in the Lucca Area at the Start of the 1900s', with works by artists including Plinio Nomellini, Lorenzo Viani, and Carlo Carrà at the Monte di Lucca Bank Foundation's Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Lucca starting December 19 through January 17.
    The show includes nearly 70 works in which local natural features - the sea, forests, lakes, streams, and mountains - were interpreted and represented by celebrated artists as a sort of paradise on Earth, pure and uncontaminated by modern life.
    The exhibition is part of 'Tuscany 1900s', an initiative of the Region of Tuscany and the Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze bank, and was curated by Umberto Sereni, who chose the most meaningful paintings as testimonials of a widespread feeling, even at an international level, between the 19th and 20th century. The show aims to "transmit to the visitor that enchantment with which artists from across Europe fell in love. In all of Tuscany there aren't other examples of experiences similar to those which came about in Lucca," Sereni said.
    The Foundation's coordinator, Maria Stuarda Varetti, said the exhibit's layout intends to "tell the story of the different cultural aspects that came about in the province of Lucca in that period of time, also deeply influenced by literary and musical productions that the territory succeeded in expressing".
    The presence of painters from the United Kingdom is numerous and significant.
    They were called to Tuscany and to Versilia in the footsteps of the great Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who drowned off Viareggio in 1822.
    These artists and writers had left behind a country overwhelmed by the Industrial Revolution and rediscovered in this swathe of Tuscany an intact natural and farming world, where production times still corresponded to nature's times. Even Lucca itself, with its extraordinary monuments - first among which figures the splendid marble tomb of Ilaria del Carretto by Jacopo della Quercia in the Cathedral of San Martino - became an emblem of eternal beauty.
    Among the works on display at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni are paintings by Moses Levy, Alfredo Meschi, Nino Carrara and Giovan Battista Santini, as well as contemporary artists including Marzia Martelli, Alessandro Tofanelli, Antonio Vignocchi and Marco Pasega.
