The human figure has long been an important subject for artists, and especially in painting, it was common for figures to be depicted alongside their surrounding landscapes or interiors. Depending on the subject’s age, occupation, and social status, the depiction of their room or environment was carefully chosen to match them, creating a close relationship between the figure and its surroundings. This relationship remained significant for artists in the 20th century and beyond, especially in sculpture, where the appearance of the work changes depending on the space in which it is placed, further strengthening the connection between the figure and its environment. This exhibition selects paintings and sculptures from the museum’s collection since the 20th century that focus on the human figure, exploring how the figure and its surroundings are represented.
