10 grandi mostre   Sebastiano del piombo venezia 1485-157

Sebastiano Luciani known as "del piombo"-who famously argued with Michelangelo regarding the execution of the sistine chapel's decorations-is a renaissance painter from venice who has always been underrated by critics. Given that the venetian sebastiano del piombo was the only paintnter capable of being a counterpoint to raphael's poetics in the 16th century, this assessment is unjust. The artist spent much of his artistically more mature period in Rome and now the city has put on the first retrospective dedicated to him featuring large canvases, life-size portraits, paintings on wood and preparatory sketches. The show tracks del Piombo's artistic development, from the warm coloful work of his beginnings to the darker atmosphers of the later period.

Ottocento.  Da Canova al Quarto stato
( 1800s. From Canova to the fourth state)

This first major exhibition dedicated to Italian 19th century painting, a century during which our country was conquering the rest of Europe with the likes of Verdi, Puccini, Rossini, but still wasn't considered to excel culturally. The over 100 masterpieces to go on show at the scuderie del Quirinale show how this century boasted a rich selection of interesting paintings. Artists such as Appiani, Palagi, Hayez and representatives of the Milanese Romantic school, the Macchiaioli ( Fattori, Lega, Signorini) in Florence, the vedutists of the posillipo and morelli school in Naples created works that were free of classical restrictions and who nourished themselves with ideas from the Risorgimento and Romanticism. These paintings showed everyday scenes and highlighted the existential unease and highlighted the existential unease of modern man.
