Bosch e un altro Rinascimento

Palazzo Reale’s major exhibition on Bosch and Another Renaissance presents for the first time to the Italian public the fruits of the most recent art-historical research on the figure of the brilliant and dreamy Dutch master Hyeronimus Bosch, illustrating his key role in the figurative culture of the European Renaissance, with a particular focus on the Mediterranean world (Spain and Italy) and that of northern Europe.

The exhibition can count on an exceptional set of loans, including the great triptychs from Lisbon and Bruges and the cycle of tapestries from the Prado and belonging to the collections of Philip II of Spain, alongside works by Italian and foreign masters who were bewitched by the unique and unmistakable style of Bosch, whose monstrous and fantastic creatures project observers into another, visionary and dystopian world. The catalog, opened by an essential introduction by the three curators, allows the visitor to follow the unfolding of the exhibition, through the fact sheets of all the works featured.
