Verona - The exhibition "Paolo Veronese. The illusion of reality" opens in Verona, Paolo Caliari's birthplace, on July 5, 2014 and it will stay at the Palazzo della Gran Guardia until October 5, 2014.
The event was organized in collaboration with the National Gallery of London, which in turn hosted a major retrospective on the master last spring.
This is the first major monographic exhibition of Veronese in Italy after a memorable one, curated by Rodolfo Pallucchini in Venice in 1939, and the first one in 26 years, after that of Castelvecchio in 1988.
The event displays approximately 100 works, including paintings and drawings, from major Italian and international museums. They are distributed in six exhibition areas: Caliari's training in Verona, his relationship with architecture, clients, the allegorical and mythological themes, religiosity and his collaborations and workshop, which were relevant from the beginning.
On the same day four Allegories, probably intended for a Venetian Palace, will be reunited after centuries at the Palladio Museum in Vicenza. Two of them are from the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, while the other two were rediscovered recently at the Villa San Remigio in Verbania Pallanza, thanks to a research of a student, whose findings were later confirmed by experts.
