Opened in 1983 in Hachioji, Tokyo, the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum houses a collection of approximately 30,000 paintings, prints, sculptures, photographs, ceramics, and other items from various eras, both domestically and internationally. In particular, its collection of Western paintings is one of the most comprehensive in Japan, covering everything from the Italian Renaissance of the 16th century to modern and contemporary art of the 20th century. This exhibition will feature more than 80 Western paintings selected from the museum's collection. In the West, mythological and religious paintings have traditionally been viewed as noble painting genres, but in modern times, painters' interests have turned to the development of innovative painting subjects and the innovation of image expression itself. Appreciate the 400-year history of Western painting through masterpieces by popular painters such as Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, and Chagall, as well as by classical masters such as Tintoretto, Van Dyck, and Claude Lorrain.
