Elisabetta Sirani (1638 – 1665), Maddalena penitente. Olio su tela. 105 x 80 cm (firmata e datata 1658). Dettaglio
The career of Elisabetta Sirani as a painter is encompassed within a decade.
Born on 8 January 1638, she made her debut at the age of seventeen, in 1655, when she began to record the paintings she was commissioned to paint.
Having succeeded her father in the family workshop, Elisabeth is one of those women artists of whom we have known nothing for too long.
Her workshop is an all-female one, and now an exhibition sheds light on her life and works.

Backstage della realizzazione del progetto Renaissance di Ruggero Rosfer, Cooperativa scultori di Carrara, 2022. Ph. Davide Pedace #3
Ruggero Rosfer’s works are an expression of the multifaceted attitude of an artist who can range from film to music, from photography to commercials.
Ruggero Rosfer sculpts and moulds matter until it is able to tell a story, thanks to the combination of different languages and the use of different dimensions.
From drawing to sculpture, from photography to two- and three-dimensional works, Ruggero Rosfer’s works offer new points of view and allow you to go beyond.

Gender equality, women’s rights, immigration and the environment are the themes of the works of Andrea Bowers, who has been dealing with uncomfortable issues for years.
His style embraces a great deal of expressive means to describe a complexity that needs to be discussed.

Cézanne’s Sainte-Victoire Mountain is a symbol of the freedom of art in the early 20th century.
The artist dedicated many years of his life and many drawings, sketches, watercolours and paintings to this subject.
Cézanne’s aim was to reconstruct a landscape on canvas and he eventually found abstract painting. It was the beginning of a new season for art.
