The United Kingdom is one of the oldest monarchies still in power and its capital, London, teems with places of interest where artistic and political history intertwine. Apart from its palaces, such as Kensington Palace, London can be explored through its enchanting parks, such as Kew Gardens, the royal gardens. How to visit them?
Giorgione’s The Tempest is a painting famous for its many mysteries.
It is a mystery who commissioned the work and the exact year it was painted, we do not know what message the painting conceals and what meaning the many symbolic elements scattered across the canvas have. The place for which the painting was intended is also mysterious.
The only certainty is that it is a truly extraordinary work of art that represents one of the masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance. Painted at the beginning of the 16th century, Giorgione’s Tempest is characterised by a perfect composition and is today exhibited at the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice.
The Last Supper by Paolo Veronese is one of the most famous works of the Venetian Renaissance. This painting, completed in 1573, is housed in the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice and is famous for a trial that Veronese had to undergo, who was forced to change the work’s name to Supper in the Levi House.
The Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice is one of Italy’s most important art collections. Located in the sestiere of Dorsoduro, in the historic centre of the lagoon city, the Accademia Galleries house a vast collection of Venetian paintings ranging from the 13th to the 18th century.
Venice is a city full of wonders and architectural beauty, world-famous for its canals, its gondoliers and its cultural and artistic heritage. One of the symbols of the city is undoubtedly Palazzo Grassi, a building of great elegance and refinement overlooking the Grand Canal.
Palazzo Grassi is not a museum with a temporary collection but an exhibition venue, which offers important art exhibitions throughout the year.
