Vittore Carpaccio at Palazzo Ducale | Venice

https://palazzoducale.visitmuve.it/category/en/mostre-en/mostre-in-corso-en/

Next exhibition to be seen in Venice at Palazzo Ducale (please see link above) will be dedicated to Vittore Carpaccio (1465-1526) from March 18th until June 18th.

La prossima mostra da vedere a Venezia a Palazzo Ducale (si veda link sopra) sarà dedicata a Vittore Carpaccio (1465-1526) dal 18 Marzo al 18 Giugno, 2023.

Curated by the great art historian Peter Humfrey, Carpaccio’s new exhibition will be held in Washington (USA) and in Venice, with a selection of the artist’s best works.

Curata dal grande storico dell’arte Peter Humfrey, la nuova mostra su Carpaccio, si terrà sia a Washington che a Venezia con una selezione dei migliori lavori dell’artista.

Considerato una sorta di Ulisse della Venezia del XV secolo, l’artista venne riscoperto nell’Ottocento da John Ruskin che gli dedicò pagine raffinatissime.

Considered a sort of Ulysses of the XVth Venice, the artist was re-discovered in the 19th century by John Ruskin who wrote sublime lines on his art.
