Francesco Hayez (10 February 1791 – 12 February 1882) was an Italian painter. He is considered one of the leading artists of Romanticism in mid-19th-century Milan, and is renowned for his grand historical paintings, political allegories, and portraits.
The Turin Civic Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art (Italian - Galleria civica d'arte moderna e contemporanea di Torino or GAM Torino) is an art gallery in Turin, Italy, founded in 1891-1895 and located in 31 via Magenta. With the MAO (Museo d'arte orientale), Palazzo Madama e Casaforte degli Acaja (Museo civico d'arte antica), the Borgo and the Rocca medioevali, it forms part of the Fondazione Torino Musei. The lower rooms house important reviews and a large collection of video art.
It houses the city's permanent collections of 19th and 20th century art, which consist of over 47,000 paintings, sculptures, art installations and pieces of video art. Artists represented include Antonio Canova, Giovanni Fattori, Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, Antonio Mancini, Giacomo Balla, Paul Klee, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Giorgio de Chirico, Lucio Fontana, Nino Franchina and Domenico Valinotti.
Art, history and politics intertwine in the great exhibition that the GAM of Turin dedicates to the romantic genius of Francesco Hayez (Venice 1791 - Milan 1882), accompanying the public to discover the artist's world, inside the painter's workshop, to reveal its techniques and secrets. An original journey that compares paintings and drawings, with over 100 works from prestigious public and private collections to which are added some important paintings by the artist kept at the GAM, such as the Portrait of Carolina Zucchi in bed (The Ammalata) and the 'Analing Angel.
