Oblivion and rediscovery<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This exhibition is focused of the exceptional relationship between Luca Signorelli and Rome<\/strong>: a city where the painter stayed on different occasions, obtaining profound inspirations for his artistic production.

<\/p>\r\n

\"Luca
Luca Signorelli Italian Artist and Rome<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

At the turn of the 15th to 16th century, Classical and Christian antiquities were emerging in every corner of the city; alongside with the architecture and the ancient ruins they stimulated the artist\u2019s creativity.
\u00a0Through his studies of the antiquity, Signorelli obtained a rich repertoire of male nudes and a variety of figurative poses, which he reproduced in his activity throughout the main centers of central Italy. \u00a0
Luca Signorelli born in Cortona<\/strong> round 1450 and deceased in the same city on 23 October 1523, was held in high esteem by his contemporaries, who entrusted him with increasingly prestigious tasks. \u00a0
In 1482 he was called to Rome to participate in the decoration of the walls of the Sistine Chapel<\/strong>.
\u00a0His paintings for this task were soon he would also work in Florence, for Lorenzo il Magnifico and other members of the Medici family.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

During five years at the height of his career (1499-1504), he painted the cycle of frescoes with dramatic scenes of the Last Judgement, in the Cappella Nova of the Orvieto Cathedral<\/strong>.
However, the fame achieved by the painter during his lifetime was insufficient to avoid a sudden fall into oblivion. \u00a0
The work of the Master of Cortona<\/strong> was obscured by the enthusiasm for the \u201cmodern manner\u201d of the two giants of the next generation: Michelangelo( 1475-1564) and Raphael ( 1483-1520). \u00a0
It was only at the end of the 18th century and especially in the early 19th century that art critics began to rediscover Signorelli\u2019s fundamental role in the development of the Reinassance<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

The exhibition is divided into seven thematic sections. In the first room, the enigma of the \u201ctrue image\u201d of the artist is narrated, showing two depictions in dissimilar versions, created in the 19th century by Pietro Tenerani and Pietro Pierantoni<\/strong>.
Next, we immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of Rome during the papacy of Sixtus IV (1471-1484). \u00a0
When classical antiquities and monuments became an inexhaustible source of inspiration for many artists<\/strong>. It including foreigners, as would later happen for the Dutchman Maarten van Heemskerck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"\r\n
The central room is the fulcrum of the exhibition: here we see works painted by Signorelli after his return from Rome, in Tuscany, Umbria, and Marche.
The reputation of his success had intensified hi receipt of commissions from religious brotherhoods and aristocratic families.
A large alterpiece with the Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian<\/strong>, originally executed for the church of San Domenico in Citt\u00e0 di Castello, and restored for this occasion, dominates this room. The following section is dedicated to the most spectacular parts of the Cappella Nova of the Orvieto Cathedral.<\/strong>
Backlit reproductions of the frescoes highlight the artist\u2019s virtuosity and creative genius.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The exhibition ends with a section dedicated to the progressive rediscovery of the artist during the 19th and 20th centuries. \u00a0
In the figurative arts, critical literature and the antiquities market.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
