Venice never ceases to amaze and now it is finally possible to visit the Doge’s Apartment, a place steeped in history that is once again part of the exhibition itinerary of the Doge’s Palace in Venice. This new opportunity to get to know Venice, its history and its protagonists is the result of a new layout, created with the aim of telling the thousand-year story of one of the most solid and long-lived figures in the institution of Venice: the Doge.

The Fauves are revolutionaries of colour. They are the pioneers who revolutionised 20th century art. They are the ones who radically transformed the traditional conception of colour and form.
The Fauves include great 20th century artists such as Matisse and Derain, absolute masters but also rebels who subverted academic conventions and embraced the bold and pure use of colour.
In this post I take you on a discovery of the vibrant brushstrokes and bold colour contrasts of the Fauves. I present some of the extraordinary works they created and scandalised, expressing intense emotions and visual sensations. An adventurous journey into Fauve art awaits you, where colour reigns supreme and artistic freedom is expressed in all its magnificence.

The creator of a simple but also profoundly experimental research, in Maria Lai’s works, the archaic rites of her land are interwoven with the stories and poetry of everyday life, creating a fantastic imagery. In her works, full of stories and symbols, the divine and the human merge, revealing themselves in a simple and universal language. Like the teachings of Francis, Maria Lai’s creations seem to question us about the mystery of existence, guiding us with childlike amazement through the inexhaustible wonders of the world.
Bosch’s fascinating and mysterious Quattro Sportelli with a Vision of the Afterlife is surprisingly kept in the heart of Venice, at the Doge’s Palace. But why is a masterpiece by the famous Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch located in Venice, in a city known mainly for the works of Titian, for contemporary art museums such as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and for the magic and history of the lagoon?
To understand the reason for this unusual location, it is necessary to go back in time and consider the historical context of the time. n this post I will try to answer all these questions and explain the importance of this work to be seen in Venice.
