Description of the museum
"Faces through time" is the title of a new and fascinating exhibition focused on portraits in the beautiful Basilica of Saint Servatius of Maastrich (the Netherlands) built in the seventeenth century. The exhibition consists of six portraits from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. The first two date back to the fifteenth century and are the two famous portraits of Battista Sforza and Federico da Montefeltro by Piero della Francesca. They are followed by two other 16th century-paintings: "Portrait of a Married" and "Portrait of Francesco Maria I della Rovere". The first one potrays a charming couple, while in the second there is a brave leader. The last two portraits date back to the 20th century and are: "Selbstporträt mit Lampionfrüchten" and "Jeanne Hebuterne au grand chapeau". Both of them are fascinating. This is an innovative exhibition that presents works that are very different from each other, but at the same time they are linked by a common thread.

The painting is a portrait of Jeanne Hebuterne who had an intense love affair with the artist Modigliani. He loved him so deeply that he committed suicide the day after his death. At the time the portrait was painted the nineteen Jeanne was married to Roger Wild. Later she left him to live with Modigliani. The portrait appears built as a joint of compact backgrounds of warm and full color, divided by lines that synthesize the arched forms. The light, as seen in the reflection of part of the eyes under the hat, looks carefully studied.
