ACCADEMIA CARRARA. From the Renaissance to Romanticism

ITALIANO DEUTSCH

The selection of paintings to be presented in Meran illustrates the luminous course of painting in Bergamo through its guiding major personalities from the second half of the 1500s to the end of the nineteenth century.
Two works of Lorenzo Lotto, the restless genius of the Renaissance, mark the beginning of the exhibition that runs through the rooms of the Kurhaus where can be seen other famous exponents of the figurative culture of the Bergamo area such as Moroni, a major personality of sixteenth century portraiture, Frá Galgario, the emblematic master of the Lombardy school between 1600 and 1700 and Piccio, one of the most original representatives of Lombardy romanticism.
The aim is thus to reveal the profile of a city that has assigned a hugely important cultural role to art and to painting in particular.

The Accademia Carrara of Bergamo, one of Italy’s richest and most refined museums, is the result of a cultured private collection that is open to art from Italy and beyond the Alps. It was created at the end of the eighteenth century by the enlightened spirit of Count Giacomo Carrara, a patron, collector and learned connoisseur of the world of letters and the arts and has grown thanks to magnanimous donations by leading private collections linked to the city.

Promoters: Autonomous Province of Bolzano – Alto Adige, Office for Italian Culture in collaboration with the Municipality of Bergamo – Accademia Carrara

Scientific project managed by Maria Cristina Rodeschini – Director, Accademia Carrara and the modern and contemporary Art Gallery of Bergamo
