CULTURAL VISIT TO MILAN
2020-02-20 14:00 - 17:00
Galleria d’Italia: CANOVA AND THORVALDSEN
THE ORIGIN OF MODERN SCULPTURE
This is an unmissable opportunity to admire the most important masterpieces by Canova and Thorvaldsen, together for the first time after challenging each other for almost thirty years on the great stage of Rome. It is a story about the good fortune they enjoyed during their lives and the mark they left on the history of art, which has influenced countless numbers of students, followers and imitators throughout the centuries.
An exhibit of over 150 works celebrates and compares two absolute masters of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: Italian Antonio Canova (1757-1822) and Danish Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) heralded as the founders of modern sculpture. Shaped by different traditions, they shared a passion for mythology and classic art forms as well as an extraordinary capacity for managing the chisel. Their sculptures, inspired by the perfection of antiquity, incarnate the spirit of their modern era.
GALLERIE D’ITALIA
A symbol of Milan’s financial history and exhibiting works from the vast art collection of Intesa San Paolo banking group, Gallerie d’Italia are housed over three adjoining mansions of undeniable grandeur and elegance, just across the renowned opera house Teatro alla Scala. Designed by leading Italian architects between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the museum sits proudly at the entrance to the famed Piazza della Scala. The design of the museum is truly remarkable, with some of the institution’s period furnishings still in place, including some original bank counters which have been tastefully integrated into the design of the new museum.
