Placed under the patronage of the Italian Embassy in Lebanon, the exhibition presents never-before-exhibited paintings, especially rare landscapes, by celebrated Italian-Lebanese artist Hussein Madi (b. 1938). The exceptional ensemble of 47 paintings, produced between 1965 and 1970 during his early years in Rome, was assumed lost for almost forty years, and only recently resurfaced serendipitously. These key paintings in the history of Madi’s career not only frame the artist at a pivotal point in his artistic trajectory, but are also a testament to Italian-Lebanese artistic exchanges during the late nineteen-sixties.
