'Giuseppe de Nittis loved the beautiful people, parties, clothes and great landscapes. This exhibition presents the work of this Italian painter, a friend of Caillebotte, Manet and Degas; characterized by certain elegance in the choice of his themes but also in the technique of his painters. He was also one of the first artists to experiment with pastels on a large scale.'
