THE PARISIAN NIGHTS OF TOULOUSE-LAUTREC

Paris in the late 19^th century; bohemian life, artists of Montmartre, the Moulin Rouge, theatres, prostitutes.
This is the environment in which Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) lived and which he decided to portray, becoming, this way, the most famous exponent of that period.
From April 1^st2017 a great exhibition in Verona celebrates the artistic journey of Toulouse-Lautrec, displaying 170 works coming from the Herakleidon Museum in Athens.

Why should you go to Verona to visit this exhibition?
It’s easy, to discover the Parisian nights of an artist who lived hard.

5 feet tall, died a few weeks shy of his 37^th birthday of syphilis and alcoholism, Toulouse-Lautrec became famous thanks to his advertising posters and portraits of famous people of that time.

HIERONYMUS BOSCH IN VENICE

There’s an exhibition I haven’t talked about yet, but I put it in the list of the unmissable events in Italy.
It’s an exhibition made up of visions, like those of the works on display.

I’m referring to works by Hieronymus Bosch, the most mysterious and peculiar artist of the Renaissance, protagonist of “Hieronymus Bosch and Venice”, an exhibition displayed in the Doge’s Apartment of the Doge’s Palace of Venice.
An interesting exhibition which gives me the chance to tell you why three masterpieces by Hieronymus Bosch are housed in Venice.
