In Padua, from October 26 2019 to March 1 2020, Zabarella Palace hosts, exclusively for Italy, over seventy masterpieces by Edgar Degas, Eugène Delacroix, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh and others, which celebrate Paul and Rachel ‘Bunny ‘Lambert Mellon, two of the most important and refined patrons of the twentieth century. The exhibition presents a valuable selection of works from the Mellon Collection of French Art from the Virginia Museum of Arts, which covers a chronological period that from the mid-nineteenth century, reaches the first decades of the twentieth century, between Romanticism and Cubism. Paul Mellon has donated to the National Gallery over a thousand works from both his father’s collection and his own. The spouses gave also an important nucleus of French works to the Virginia Museum of Fine Art in Richmond, as well as works of English and American art. We will see exhibited these French works of art at Palazzo Zabarella, which reflect the personal sensitivity of the Mellons and their exceptional collecting taste.
