In my blog I’ve often mentioned Neoclassicism. It happened when I talked about my visit to the exhibition “From Hayez to Boldini” in Brescia, and when I showed you the images of the new rooms dedicated to Antonio Canova at the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice.
I’ve been thinking about a post dedicated to Neoclassicism for a while, in order to explain once and for all in which period this movement developed and who the major artists of this movement are.
In this post you’ll find a definition of Neoclassicism.
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, Riposo durante la fuga in Egitto, 1596-1597. Galleria Doria Pamphilj, Roma © 2017 Amministrazione Doria Pamphilj s.r.l.
One of the most long-awaited exhibitions of autumn 2017 is the exhibition dedicated to Caravaggio in Milan.
It doesn’t often happen that you have the chance to admire so many works by Michelangelo Merisi all together.
The exhibition Inside Caravaggio housed at the Palazzo Reale (the Royal Palace) in Milan from September 29th 2017 to January 28th 2018 will feature 20 masterpieces.

After telling you what books I use to introduce “my princesses” to art, in this post I’ll explain what didactic workshops organized in Venice by the Pinault Foundation to introduce children to contemporary art are.
In fact, until December 3rd 2017 “Treasure from the Wreck of the Unbelievable”, crazy and spectacular exhibition by Damien Hirst, is on view at the venues of the Foundation in Venice.
As I wrote in the post in which I talked about my visit (read about Damien Hirst in Venice), I liked the exhibition, and because I believe that it’s one-of-a-kind event, I decided to take “my princesses” to see it, and obviously I seized the moment and I saw the exhibition again.
I booked one of the workshops organized by the Palazzo Grassi Museum and Punta della Dogana Museum and dedicated to small visitors, and I addressed some questions to Alexis Sornin, responsible for didactic activities.
Here is what she told me.
