The exhibition comemorates this minority, present in Europe
for so many centuries, which has been seen by artists as a controversial
subject. It has been represented multiple times in different artworks due to
its ambivalent significance which embodies both
a sense of freedom (due to their picturesque lifestyle) and slavery (due
to their tragical history).
Anyone who is at least a bit curious about art or would like
an insight of the Gypsies’ lifestyle, seen through the eyes of these painters,
is more than welcome to come and see the exhibition! We promise, you will not
be disappointed! See you there!
