Show in Milan: Canova at the Court of the Czars
From the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg to the Palazzo Reale in Milan in the rooms of the former Museo delal Reggia, the exhibition Canova at the Court of the Czars will be held from February 22 to June 9, 2008. The show tells the story of Italian sculpture through the works of one of its greatest sculptors, purchased by the Czars, particularly Nicholas I.
The exhibition was handled by Sergej Androsov, the director of the European Art department at the Hermitage and by Fernando Mazzocca, an art critic. Among the works of Canova exhibited are "Le Tre Grazie", "la Danzatrice", "l'Amorino alato", "la Maddalena penitente" and several works previously not exhibited in Italy like "le Ore Danzanti" by Finelli, "la Flora e la Psiche svenuta" by Tenerani, "l'Amore che abbevera le colombe" by Bienaimé, "la Ninfa dello scorpione" and "La Fiducia in Dio" by Bartolini and "il Bacchino malato" by Dupré, which can be compared with "il Bacchino" (better known as "l'Ammostatore") by Bartolini.
At the same time as the show, you can see the catalogue of Federico Motta Editore with photographs by Aurelio Amendola, edited by the show's curators.
