A work by Carlo Carrà, 'Un pino sul mare', is currently part of an exhibition at Palazzo Pitti in Florence. The Museo delle Porcellane highlighted the painting in a post describing its composition as “assolutamente minimale,” underscoring the work’s restrained visual structure and its setting under a clear blue sky.

The museum’s note draws attention to the absence of human figures in the scene. Instead, the composition includes only a white cloth placed on an easel, presented as a trace of human presence rather than a direct depiction of people. That detail frames the painting as a quiet study in stillness and suggestion.

The work is identified as dating from 1921. Beyond that date and its placement at Palazzo Pitti, the source material does not provide further exhibition details, a curatorial statement, or installation information, so the report remains limited to the verified caption and venue reference.

Carrà is one of the best-known figures in 20th-century Italian art, and the mention of 'Un pino sul mare' places attention on a work that the museum characterizes through its pared-back formal language. The image, as described by the museum, relies on a few elements: the sky, the sea, the pine, and the cloth on the easel.

The post comes from Museo delle Porcellane, the museum associated with the Uffizi Galleries in Florence, and is presented here as a museum highlight rather than a full exhibition announcement. The organization’s public note specifically points to Palazzo Pitti as the location where the 1921 work is being shown.

No additional dates, related programmes, or accompanying works were included in the source material. As currently described by the museum, 'Un pino sul mare' is on view at Palazzo Pitti in Florence.
