Frammenti di Paradiso. Giardini nel tempo alla Reggia di Caserta

The garden is the place where man seeks to rediscover paradise on earth, the lost harmony with nature. It is no coincidence that paradise, in many cultures, is synonymous with garden, and in descriptions throughout history this term evokes the beauty and allure of a place. The garden is a fragment of the world, where the patron reflects his personality and his values; it is a means of transmitting messages to the outside world, the fruit of the harmonious fusion of art and nature, and therefore changeable and fragile. Painted or reproduced gardens aim to immortalize their fleeting beauty, to pass it on through time. The relationship between the real, living garden and the garden translated into an artistic language is extremely diverse and runs through the history of our civilization. Showing its evolution and the various ways in which it has been expressed is the theme of this exhibition, which draws on a direct relationship with one of the most spectacular and celebrated gardens, whose ever-changing real vision constantly engages with the exhibition itinerary, in a continuous exchange of languages ​​and suggestions.
