April


 

FROM POUSSIN TO CÉZANNE
Masterpieces of the French Drawing from the Prat Collection

From March 18 to June 4, 2017

Every day: 10 am to 5 pm (ticket office closes at 4 pm)

poussin cezanen

On display at Museo Correr is an outstanding nucleus of 110 highly refined drawings from one of the most important private French collections: the Louis-Antoine and Véronique Prat Collection, which includes all the great masters from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, from Poussin and Callot to Seurat and Cézanne. Started over forty years ago, without a doubt the Prat Collection is one of the most important private European collections of ancient drawings. From the perspective of art history studies, drawing is thus confirmed as one of the highest expressions that an artist can leave behind as testimony of his work. The exhibition was prepared with the collaboration of Fondation Bemberg of Tolosa, the support of Alliance Française-Venezia and curated by Pierre Rosenberg, former director of the Louvre and the greatest expert in the field of French drawings of that period.

Tickets: € 12 full, € 10 reduced

serenissime trame

Promoted by Polo Museale del Veneto and Fondazione Tassara, the exhibition focuses on three main themes: rugs, painting and collecting. Curated by Claudia Cremonini, Moshe Tabibnia, Giovanni Valagussa, the exhibition will also be the occasion to show for the first time in public three ancient oriental rugs from baron Giorgio Franchetti’s collection, who donated them with the rest of his art collection to the Italian state in 1916. The exhibition shows 26 rugs from one of the most complete collection of precious tapestry from the 15th and 16th Century, with incredible fabrics and colors and most representative of the models that arrived in Venice through the trade routes from the East. The rugs are accompanied by Renaissance paintings influenced by the venetian culture, like works by Carpaccio, Vincenzo Foppa and Dosso Dossi. These artists included the rugs into sacred and profane representations, giving them strong symbolic references.
