Rolli in Genoa. Genoa is a regal city overlooking the sea, and you can get lost in its narrow alleys.
Genoa is a city made up of history and spectacular Palazzi (Palaces), and some of them were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2006.
These palaces are the Rolli.
Exhibitions in France in 2016. My journeys to Paris are always too short and I always have the desire to get back.
The last time I visited France was on the occasion of the inauguration of the Picasso Museum in Paris, of which I published my photos in a special post, but also for the inauguration of the Louis Vuitton Foundation which I showed here.
However, there are always good reasons to come back to Paris and to France, and to explore new famous and less famous corners.
In this post I will share with you all the most interesting exhibitions that will be on view in France this summer.
Which one are you going to visit? And don’t forget to tell me the exhibitions you love and there aren’t on my list.
You may insert in your comments the title, the city and the museum which hosts it and the reason why you like it.
CULTURE CHANEL. The woman who reads. The exhibition which at the end of summer will take place in Venice is dedicated to Coco Chanel, to her story and her relationship with books and reading.
From Greek authors to modern poets, Gabrielle Chanel’s library will reveals works that influenced her life and shaped the personality of the woman who was not only a great fashion designer, but a great reader, as well.
Venice was one of the places from which Coco drew her inspiration, and here for the first time her library will be displayed.
Claude Monet, Artist’s House at Argenteuil, 1873 – Chicago, The Art Institute of Chicago
Exhibitions in Treviso. Treviso will become the capital of art between 2016 and 2017 thanks to a series of exhibitions very different from each other, but that will satisfy all tastes.
From Impressionism masterpieces to paintings by Titian, Rubens and Rembrandt, to paintings by Guttuso, Vedova, Schifano and other contemporary artists who are making Italian art history.
The author of this project, which will involve the whole city of Treviso, is Marco Goldin, who with his own society “Linea d’Ombra” has produced successful exhibitions attracting millions of visitors.
Thanks to him Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer arrived in Bologna, as I show HERE, and he himself organized the exhibition dedicated to Nocturnals in art (I show HERE my photos about the exhibition), bringing to Vicenza a lot of masterpieces including three paintings by Van Gogh.
In this post you will find the complete list of the planned exhibitions, the dates and practical information.
Giovanni Bellini. If you were born in a family of famous artists whose relationships with cultural world are intense, your creativity maybe would be inhibited otherwise stimulated in order to do more.
Giovanni Bellini was born and grew up in a family that concerning incentives there weren’t comparison.
From his father Jacopo to his brother Gentile, to his brother-in-law Andrea Mantegna, you can’t say that inspirations lacked in Giovanni’s life, and he tried to assimilate the best from them.
Giovanni Bellini’s artistic career was long and successful.
He constantly updated his style, and absorbed the novelties, but without reneging his point of reference, which was also his starting point: the Venetian painting.
In this post I will retrace the life and the works of Giovanni Bellini.
