2017Konrad Mägi - Landscape with a Red Cloud - First Day Cover

The Estonian artist Konrad Mägi (1878–1925) was one of the first modernist painters of northern and eastern Europe. His art is characterised by powerful colours, and he synthesised the major art trends of the time into a unique whole, adding his personal sensitivity to nature. The first comprehensive exhibition of Konrad Mägi’s works held outside Estonia takes place in Italy, through the cooperative effort of the Art Museum of Estonia, the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea and the Estonian Embassy in Rome. The event is dedicated to the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the European Union and to the 100th birthday of the Republic of Estonia.
