Un’estate (magica) di sere incantate – visit to the exhibition “Ospiti/1 Antonio Canova. Polimnia”
Friday 7 July 2023 - h. 21:15
With the “Ospiti” exhibition, Count Tadini’s house opens ideally to the public, offering a glimpse of other houses and other collections. The exhibition is opened by the rare terracotta sketch, which represents Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi in the guise of the muse Polimnia, modeled by the master Antonio Canova in 1812 with a view to creating a portrait. An exceptional work, belonging to a private collection, evidence of Canova’s creative path that started from the drawing and then arrived at the marble.
This illustrious guest will give the opportunity to involve the public in the rediscovery of some pictorial and sculptural sketches present in the Tadini collection, to learn about their history and perceive their beauty: the “sketch” … an unfinished but unique product that represents the first idea of the final work modeled in clay or sketched on the canvas by sculptors and painters.
Admission €5.00; free up to 10 years of age.
The Gallery is open to the public from 21.00 to 24.00
