Maurizio Nobile's art gallery opened its doors in 1987 in the Palazzo Bovi-Tacconi in Piazza Santo Stefano, in the very heart of Bologna. With many years of experience in the field of early Italian painting and drawing and a growing reputation, in 2010 Maurizio Nobile opened a second branch in Paris, now located in the new premises at 2 rue Chapon.
In October 2021, a third gallery opened in Milan in the prestigious setting of Palazzo Bagatti-Valsecch; in the very heart of the city's fashion and design district.
Over the years, the gallery's participation in prestigious fairs - such as BIAF - Florence International Biennale - Palazzo Corsini, London Art Week and TEFAF - The European Fine Art Fair (Maastricht) - has been accompanied by a rich calendar of exhibitions, which have been the subject of catalogues written in close collaboration with leading experts and art historians.
Long passionate about drawing, with the constant concern to satisfy an international clientele of amateurs, collectors and museums, the gallery offers a large selection of ancient and modern drawings from the Italian School from the 16th to the 20th century.

Un protagonista dell’Ottocento in Lombardia, exhibition catalog under the direction of Valter Rosa, Musée Diotti, Casalmaggiore, October 28 - January 28, 2018, Casalmaggiore 2017, repr. fig. 31, p. 95.
This is the preparatory drawing for the fave on the left of the Double Portrait of a Man Sentenced to Death in the Museo Civico Ala Ponzone in Cremona (inv. 341).
The painting depicts the same man before and after his beheading.
Our drawing shows the face of the model before his execution. T
he macabre exercise probably dates from the last period of the artist's sojourn in Rome.
Dear visitors,
Due to the gravity of the international situation resulting from the spread of COVID-19 and in order to protect the health of all parties concerned, we have decided to cancel the 29th edition of the Salon du dessin.
France officially declared a state of health emergency on 24 March for two months and there are still numerous uncertainties regarding the evolution of the pandemic over the coming months. These factors make it impossible to reprogram the Salon before the summer of 2020 and the Salon du dessin, which usually attracts numerous other events in Paris for a week, will therefore not take place this year.
Louis de Bayser, President of the Salon du dessin said “this is a difficult decision to take with regard to all those who worked hard for this edition, but our priority is to protect the health of all our exhibitors, visitors and partners”.
We send our thoughts to all those affected by this epidemic and hope that this unprecedented health situation will quickly change favorably.
