Pittori della realtà. Le ragioni di una rivoluzione da Foppa e Leonardo a Caravaggio e Ceruti.
Painters of reality. The legacy of Leonardo and Caravaggio in Lombardy.
From february 14 to may 2 2004
Painting
More than 110 works are grouped together to show how Caravaggio, considered the element to have triggerd off the naturalist movement in Europe, actually entered a Lombard tradition of deep interest in observing reality. A tradition begun by Leonardo da Vinci, followed by Lorenzo Lotto and Annibale Carrache, among others, and that makes Lombardy the mother of modern naturalism.
