Bruce Davidson / Zabriskie Point – the faces of America

Friday December 27th, 2024, Categories  News

A new appointment at Spazio Antonioni recounts the meeting on the set of the film Zabriskie Point between the great photographer and one of the fathers of modern cinematography.

Having arrived in the United States in 1968 to portray a country that embodied the essence of his time, Michelangelo Antonioni chose Bruce Davidson as a set photographer on the set of Zabriskie Point: what unites them is the vocation to peer into the folds of reality without preconceptions, giving the gives the observer an enchanted and at the same time aware gaze.
Having joined the legendary Magnum agency in 1958, the American has demonstrated, since his first production, an extraordinary ability to delve into unfamiliar territories, bringing out, even from the most degraded subjects, a moral and aesthetic dignity...

Guercino, un nuovo sguardo. Opere provenienti da Forlì e da altri luoghi nascosti

Friday December 27th, 2024, Categories  News

The exhibition, hosted at the church of San Lorenzo, displays twenty large works, most of them altarpieces, by Guercino and his students, which until now were hidden from the public eye because they were kept in places that could not be visited

These works maintain a close dialogue with the heritage already on display in the Pinacoteca di Cento, as well as with other paintings hosted by the same church of San Lorenzo. Even though Guercino had already moved to Bologna starting from 1642, the paintings presented confirm the authoritativeness of a school that maintained its roots in Cento and reaffirm its indisputable originality.

 
Cento confirms itself as the nerve center of the celebrations of its great master a year after the reopening of the Civica Pinacoteca “il Guercino”, last autumn,...

Renaissance in Ferrara. Ercole de’ Roberti and Lorenzo Costa

Monday May 1st, 2023, Categories  News

With the completion of the restoration, Palazzo dei Diamanti opens its doors with an exhibition dedicated to two great Renaissance masters from Ferrara: Ercole de’ Roberti and Lorenzo Costa

 

Gifted with an incredible compositional talent that was extraordinary for its quality and emotional expressiveness, Ercole de’ Roberti (Ferrara c. 1450 – 1496) made his debut in 1469 decorating the extraordinary Hall of the Months at Palazzo Schifanoia. He travelled between Bologna and Ferrara until 1486, when he returned home and became the first painter at the court of Este.

It was Lorenzo Costa (Ferrara 1460 – Mantua 1535), 10 years younger than Ercole de’ Roberti, who took up his legacy and continued his style in his early works. But during his long stay at Bologna, Costa’s style of painting changed, moving towards an increasing softness, a calm and serene classicism. The world was changing. Leonardo and Perugino were establishing the new “manner”, which Costa quickly understood, and he was among the most important interpreters, even after he moved to the court of the Gonzaga in Mantua.

These two protagonists will be accompanied on this journey by other contemporary great masters: Mantegna, Cosmè Tura, Niccolò dell’Arca, Marco Zoppo will mark the starting point, while Antonio da Crevalcore, Guido Mazzoni, Boccaccio Boccaccino, Francesco Francia and Perugino will enrich the conversation along the way.
Over one hundred works, from museums and collections throughout the world, will offer the public a unique opportunity to discover (or rediscover) the art of two great protagonists and, more generally, the dazzling richness of Renaissance Ferrara.
 
Exhibition curated by Vittorio Sgarbi and Michele Danieli
