SUMMARY:Dolce Vita: Two Centuries of Italian Inspiration in Hungarian Art
DESCRIPTION:\nThe National Gallery in Budapest is hosting a temporary exhibition titled Dolce Vita. Impressions of Italy in Two Centuries of Hungarian Art. Part of the Bartók Spring International Art Weeks, this collection showcases around 150 works by 75 artists, including paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, objects, and archaeological artefacts. The display spans from the nineteenth century to contemporary art, illustrating how Italy has remained an eternal theme and a popular destination for Hungarian travellers and creators alike.\n\n\n\nFor centuries, individuals have made pilgrimages to Italy, drawn by its sunlight, coastal aromas, wine, and coffee, alongside historic relics of antiquity and exemplary Renaissance and Baroque architecture. This collective Italian experience has served as a constant source of inspiration. For historical figures like János Vaszary, Italy represented a landscape of color, light, movement, and life. While nineteenth-century artists like Antal Ligeti and Károly Markó the Elder studied the Old Masters and captured mythical landscapes, twentieth-century artists like Vilmos Aba-Novák, Aurél Bernáth, and Emese Benczúr shifted toward loose, gestural depictions of everyday life, seaside beaches, and contemporary pop-cultural topoi.\n\n\n\nExhibition Details and Planning\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Ground floor, temporary exhibition space, National Gallery, Budapest\n\n\n\nTimeframe: 8 April – 23 August 2026\n\n\n\nPrice: Not specified in the exhibition announcement\n\n\n\n\nTo learn more about the venue, its history, and permanent collections, you can find more information about the museum ( https://www.hungarybudapestguide.com/activities/museums/national-gallery/ ) online.
