ELISABETTA SIRANI. PAINTER IN 17TH CENTURY BOLOGNA

The career of Elisabetta Sirani as a painter is encompassed within a decade.
Born on 8 January 1638, she made her debut at the age of seventeen, in 1655, when she began to record the paintings she was commissioned to paint.

Having succeeded her father in the family workshop, Elisabeth is one of those women artists of whom we have known nothing for too long.
Her workshop is an all-female one, and now an exhibition sheds light on her life and works.

THE MULTIFACETED WORKS OF RUGGERO ROSFER

Ruggero Rosfer’s works are an expression of the multifaceted attitude of an artist who can range from film to music, from photography to commercials.

Ruggero Rosfer sculpts and moulds matter until it is able to tell a story, thanks to the combination of different languages and the use of different dimensions.
From drawing to sculpture, from photography to two- and three-dimensional works, Ruggero Rosfer’s works offer new points of view and allow you to go beyond.
