THE PERMANENT COLLECTION

The Permanent Collection houses 25 masterpieces donated to the institution by Giovanni and Marella Agnelli. The nucleus of works of exceptional historical and artistic value includes masterpieces of eighteen-century venetian art and neoclassical plaster casts by Canova; the pre-impressionism of Édouard Manet, and the impressionism of Pierre-Auguste Renoir; the great futurist canvas of Giacomo Balla and the cubist paintings of Pablo Picasso and Gino Severini, concluding with the return to figuration by Amedeo Modigliani and seven canvases by Henri Matisse. The works are exhibited in the so-called Scrigno, a suspended structure designed by Renzo Piano on the roof of the Lingotto.

Bernardo Bellotto

La Hofkirche di Dresda con il castello e il ponte di Augusto, 1748

The views of Dresden are part of a series produced by Bellotto on commission from the Saxon Prime Minister, Count Heinrich Brühl, replicas of those commissioned by Augustus III, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony, for celebratory purposes, testifying to the city’s major transformations. Compared with the copy in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, which shows the Catholic Hofkirche nearing completion, Bellotto here takes a realistic view of the state of works in 1748, including the scaffolding then present in front of the façade. With the help of the camera obscura, used previously by Canaletto, Bellotto outlines the surrounding architecture, extending the shot along the course of the Elbe, enriching the scene with a few figures, including passers-by in the foreground, greeting Augustus III’s carriage as it passes.
