PHOTOS: Mexico’s Palacio de Bellas Artes showcases artworks by Amedeo Modigliani after opening for the first time since the coronavirus lockdown

After being closed for five-months on account of the coronavirus pandemic, Mexico's fine art museum, Palacio de Bellas Artes reopened its doors to the public for the El Paris de Modigliani y sus Contemporáneos or The Paris of Modigliani and his contemporaries exhibition. The exhibition looks into the Italian Jewish artist and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani's relationship with Mexico, as well his friendship with Mexican painters Diego Rivera and Ángel Zárraga, the 'bohemian scene' in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century, among other things. It also features Modigliani's most famous painting Fillette en bleu (Little girl in blue) from 1918.
