Palazzo Medici Riccardi dedicates an exhibition to the Turin painter who lived in Florence in the first half of the 20th century: Felice Carena, one of the most important and least known artists of the 20th century, a painter with a thousand faces, never the same as himself, capable of renewing himself while maintaining his uniqueness. 
This exhibition explores every facet, presenting to the public over 50 works, including numerous unpublished works owned by the family, alongside loans from important public and private institutions.

The exhibition is divided into six sections and begins with a group of family portraits that the master kept for himself: his wife Mariuccia Chessa, sister of the painter Gigi Chessa, whom he married in Turin in 1919; the first daughter Marzia, born in 1910 from the relationship with Baroness Gina Ferrero of Rome; daughter Donatella, born in 1920.

The artist takes the opportunity of the themes represented to explore the chromatic form and structure of the image, investigating how light and shadow shape the composition and how the simplicity of the elements can convey a story in which painting is the true protagonist.
