The city of Treviso is preparing to welcome an international level event that promises to become one of the most important cultural events of recent years. The Toledo Museum of Art, one of the most authoritative American institutions in the field of modern art, will bring to the Santa Caterina Museum a selection of sixty-one works that are unlikely to leave the United States.
Masterpieces from the 19th to the 20th century
Thanks to the exhibition “From Picasso to van Gogh” – which started on 15 November 2025 and will continue until 10 May 2026 – the public will be able to get closer to an extraordinary group of paintings signed by the great masters who redefined the history of art. As per the title, the rooms will host the works of Picasso and Van Gogh, and those of the various Monet, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Modigliani, Morandi, Klee, Hopper and other great protagonists of the period. A path that unites distant schools and sensibilities, capable of restoring the evolution of pictorial language in a period of profound transformations.
The exhibition will propose an itinerary structured into several sections, dedicated to the genres that accompanied the birth of modernity: still life, landscape, portrait and figure. The itinerary will illustrate the maturation of impressionism, the role of the avant-garde and the affirmation of modern painting, bringing into dialogue works born in different contexts but linked by the same creative tension.
The return to Europe of a symbolic work
Among the most anticipated canvases stands out “Wheat Fields with Mower” by Vincent van Gogh, dated July 1890 and created a few days before the artist’s death. A composition that preserves emotional intensity and expressive strength, destined to be exhibited in a dedicated room to enhance its visual impact, and which represents a great opportunity to see up close a fundamental testimony of the painter’s last creative period.
