Ever since the media and commercial exchanges have amplified the horizon of the art world, which was previously confined within the limits of schools and academies, it gave life to a complex and organised trade system for the diffusion of contemporary art.

Until April 27th, the Tate Britain in London is representing about fifty large scaled works and a large group of works on paper of the Scottish artist Peter Doig. Doig is a great lover of photography and cinema who likes to paint landscapes in particular using colour in an unusual way and creating magical atmospheres of realistic taste. It is for this reason that many art critics love to define him as a romantic painter.
