Galleria Giorgio Franchetti at Ca’ d’Oro presents “From Donatello to Alessandro Vittoria, 1450 – 1600. 150 years of sculpture in the Republic of Venice“, the first major Venetian exhibition dedicated to Venetian sculpture curated by Toto Bergamo Rossi, director of Venetian Heritage and Claudia Cremonini, director of Galleria Giorgio Franchetti at Ca’ d’Oro. Organized and funded by the Venetian Heritage Foundation, in collaboration with Musei Veneto, the exhibition is open to the public through October 30, 2022.
Thanks to important loans from national and international institutions and private collections, the exhibition focuses on the dialogue between several works of masters who worked in Venice and in the territories of the Republic between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, such as Donatello, Antonio Rizzo, Pietro, Tullio and Antonio Lombardo up to Jacopo Sansovino and Alessandro Vittoria, proposing, in addition to works already known to the general public, some sculptures never seen in museums.
The exhibition aims to give back to the visitors the variety of interpretation of the sculptural technique, underlining the richness of materials, the expressive potentialities and the aesthetic declinations within a historical-artistic context that in Venice generally prefers painting.
