Il percorso della Gallery of Modern Art of Milan GAM begins with the first six rooms, aimed at illustrating themes and characters of Neoclassicism, among which stand out the masterpieces of Appiani and Canova. Two entire rooms are dedicated to the portrait genre, with particular attention to the works of Hayez. The lavish ballroom and the bright Hall of Parnassus, both free of artworks, constitute two pauses in the exhibition path.
The Romantic season is revisited through the main artists (Faruffini, Mosè Bianchi, Induno, Piccio) and in the monographic room dedicated to the Scapigliatura. Finally, the rich Divisionist season is evoked in a series of thematic rooms: Segantini, Grubicy, Longoni, up to the paintings with social subjects of Morbelli, Sottocornola and Nomellini. After the section with masterpieces by Medardo Rosso, the path on the first floor ends with symbolist paintings by Previati and Segantini.
The visit continues on the second floor with the Grassi Collection, a collection of masterpieces of Italian and foreign painting from the XIV to the XX century, to which a core of Oriental art works is added.
Among the exhibited works, unique pieces by Manet, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin. In continuity with the previous one, the Vismara Collection is finally visited, which collects works of painting and sculpture of the Italian twentieth century (Carrà, De Pisis, Modigliani, Morandi, Sironi) and foreign (Picasso, Matisse, Renoir, Vuillard, Rouault, Dufy).
