Rinaldo Invernizzi. Omaggio alla Cappella Portinari

A dialogue between an artist of today and the great master Vincenzo Foppa

Rinaldo Invernizzi is a multifaceted figure of an artist: a painter with strong roots in classical art, but open to a strenuous contemporary experimentalism, as well as a writer, he is also president and artistic co-director of the historic Murano factory Barovier & Toso, a leader in the art of glassblowing and the creation of artistic lighting. He has participated in group and solo exhibitions in academic and religious institutions and holds a diploma in Contemporary Sacred Art.

The volume Homage to the Portinari Chapel. Between Art History and Spirituality constitutes the catalog for its upcoming exhibition, which will be held from Sept. 18 to Nov. 13 at the Portinari Chapel, the masterpiece of the Lombard Renaissance by Vincenzo Foppa, housed in Milan’s Basilica of Sant’Eustorgio.
