A splendid 16th century palace houses the works of the impressionist painter Giuseppe De Nittis, who was born in Barletta and became famous all over the world.
The picture gallery of Barletta houses an extraordinary collection of works by Giuseppe De Nittis, an impressionist painter born in Barletta in 1846 and soon became one of the major exponents of the European artistic scene in the 1800s.
In the rooms of Palazzo Della Marra, the artist is told through a thematic path, from the Neapolitan experience to the metropolitan suggestions of Paris and London, represented by the painter in their most modern elements.
Intimate and expressive are the female portraits and the landscapes transfigure with deft touches of light the places visited by the artist. In the museum, a rich program of temporary exhibitions is added to the permanent exhibition, allowing visitors to admire, in rotation, the works present in the deposits.
