EXHIBITION ON IMAGES OF THE CITY FROM THE RENAISSANCE TO THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT AT THE CORRER MUSEUM IN ST MARK’S SQUARE

The Correr Museum in St Mark’s Square will host a new and interesting exhibition in February entitled ‘The Image of the European City from the Renaissance to the Age of Enlightenment’. As announced on the museum’s website, ‘The evocative European urban world, from the Renaissance to the Age of Enlightenment, will be recalled in this exhibition through an extraordinary iconographic range of more than 80 paintings, engravings and drawings from important private and public collections in Italy and abroad’. The city has always been a privileged place for European painting and the exhibition ‘collects those global images, of great qualitative, breathtaking impact, that for centuries were the only or the most persuasive and immediate means of showing off the beauty and riches of the main cities in Europe’. The exhibition is curated by Cesare De Seta, with scientific direction by Gabriella Belli. For information:
