Visitors to Verona can enjoy two
major exhibitions dedicated to the Post-Impressionist era and to
20th century icon Tamara de Lempicka. In Rome, masterpieces by
Parmigianino and Barocci inspired by Raphael are showcased at
the Capitoline Museums. Meanwhile in Milan a collection of
pictures and maps showcases the role of water in the city's
history and development.
VERONA- An exhibition presenting 70 Post-Impressionist
masterpieces by artists including Seurat, Van Gogh and Mondrian
is running until March 13 at the Palazzo della Gran Guardia. The
works, usually housed at the Kroller Muller Museum in Otterlo in
the Netherlands, have been selected to portray this crucial
period of artistic production in late 19th and early 20th
century Europe.
VERONA- Tourists and art lovers have just a few more weeks
to visit Palazzo Forti's exhibition showcasing the work of
Polish art deco painter Tamara de Lempicka. About 200 of her
works can be seen at the gallery, including oil paintings,
drawings, photography and clothes. Visitors learn about her life
in a chronological exhibition beginning with her Parisian phase
in the 1920s through to some of her last work in the 1950s. The
relationship between her painting and the languages of
photography and fashion are analysed. Works that stirred
scandal, including those portraying her lovers, are also on
show.
ROME- An exhibition on Raphael, Parmigianino and Barocci at the
Capitoline Museums is heading towards its final weeks. The art
of Francesco Mazzola, known as Parmigianino, and Federico Fiori,
also known as Il Barocci, is compared with the work of Raphael.
Both are considered heirs to the Renaissance master from Urbino.
His strong influence on their work is reflected in drawings,
etchings and contrast paintings.
MILAN- The "Milan: City of Water" exhibition running at Palazzo
Morando until Feb 14 displays the role of water in the city
through 150 pictures and maps. It highlights the importance of
water for both the military defence of the city as well as its
economic and industrial growth.
