  • 3 LEONARDO Di Strinati Tancredi ING.Key
    THE WORKS OF ART IN THE AGE OF DIGITAL REPRODUCTION THE THEORETICAL BACKGROUND The Impossible Exhibitions project derives from an instance of cultural democracy that has its precursors in Paul Valéry, Walter Benjamin and André Malraux. The project is also born of the awareness that in the age of the digital reproducibility of the work of art, the concepts of safeguarding and (cultural and economic) evaluation of the artistic patrimony inevitably enter not only the work as itself, but also its reproduction: “For a hundred years here, as soon as the history of art has escaped specialists, it has been the history of what can be photographed” (André Malraux). When one artist's work is spread over various museums, churches and private collections in different continents, it becomes almost impossible to mount monograph exhibitions that give a significant overall vision of the great past artist's work. It is even harder to create great exhibitions due to the museum directors’ growing – and understandable – unwillingness to loan the works, as well as the exorbitant costs of insurance and special security measures, which are inevitable for works of incalculable value. Impossible Exhibitions start from these premises. Chicago, Loyola University Museum of Art, 2005 Naples, San Domenico Maggiore, 2013/2014 THE WORKS OF ART IN THE AGE OF DIGITAL REPRODUCTION THE PROJECT In a single exhibition space, Impossible Exhibitions present a painter's entire oeuvre in the form of very high definition reproductions, making use of digital technology permitting reproductions that fully correspond to the original works. Utmost detail resolution, the rigorously 1:1 format (Leonardo's Last Supper reproduction occupies around 45 square meters!), the correct print tone – certified by a renowned art scholar – make these reproductions extraordinarily close to the originals.

  • Mona Lisa: a Comparative Evaluation of the Different Versions S
    ONA LISA: A COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF THE MDIFFERENT VERSIONS AND THEIR COPIES Salvatore Lorusso* Dipartimento di Beni Culturali Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna, Ravenna, Italy Andrea Natali Dipartimento di Beni Culturali Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna, Ravenna, Italy Keywords: “Mona Lisa”, versions, copies 1. Introduction In a previous study [1], which included stylistic and diagnostic analyses, it was found that the oil painting on canvas “Mona Lisa with columns”, part of a private collection in a museum in St. Petersburg (Figure 1), is a copy of the “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo (Figure 2) dating to a period between 1590 and 1660. Noteworthy features include the good quality, readability and expressiveness emanating from the work, which presum- ably is of Nordic influence, specifically German-Flemish. Figure 1.

The Louvre “Mona Lisa” More specifically, given the importance of the subject, which includes Leonardo’s well-known masterpiece, the conclusion that was reached in defining the above paint- ing a copy of the original, involved examining, from a methodological point of view, investigations carried out in 2004 on the Louvre “Mona Lisa” by the “Center for Re- search and Restoration of the Museums of France”, and published in “Au coeur de La Joconde – Léonard de Vinci Décodé”. This sequence of investigations – which were certainly not aimed at authentication – were examined together with those of the Na- tional Gallery in London, thus enabling comparisons to be made with other works by Leonardo [2-3].

  • Joint Press Release
    JOINT PRESS PELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION LEONARDO OPERA OMNIA EXHIBITION UGANDA MUSEUM, FROM 19TH NOVEMBER 2019 TO 5TH JANUARY 2020 ________________________________________________________________________ Kampala, 24 October 2019 – The Embassy of Italy in Kampala, in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, the Uganda Tourism Board is proud to announce that the “Leonardo Opera Omnia” exhibition will be held in Kampala from the 19th November 2019 to 5th January 2020. Leonardo Opera Omnia is an innovative and ambitious project, born from a collaboration between the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and RAI (the Italian Public Television), to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Leonardo Da Vinci’s death. It aims at sharing the Italian Cultural Heritage by displaying seventeen high definition and true-to-scale reproductions of Leonardo Da Vinci’s masterpieces. The original paintings are scattered in various locations and museums all over the world. In Kampala, visitors will see them all in one place, here at the Uganda Museum. A curator from Italy will travel to Uganda to take care of the entire set-up of the exhibition and all the logistic costs of the initiative will be sponsored by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Leonardo Opera Omnia unveils the great master’s life and genius through his pictorial work. The exhibition is at the same time an art exposure and an educational experience, intended to showcase the culture of the Renaissance era through visual information, painted by Leonardo in the 16th century. Moreover, the exhibition brings together the cultural and artistic aspects of Leonardo’s works with the innovation and technology applied for the reproductions on display; this is the final and uppermost tribute to Da Vinci’s passion for inventions and scientific experimentation.

  • A Multidisciplinary Study of the Tongerlo Last Supper 0722
    A Multidisciplinary Study of the Tongerlo Last Supper and its attribution to Leonardo da Vinci’s Second Milanese studio Jean-Pierre Isbouts, Fielding Graduate University, Santa Barbara, CA, and Christopher Brown, Brown Discoveries, LLC, North Carolina This article presents the findings from a two-year study of the Last Supper canvas in the Abbey of Tongerlo, Belgium, including a detailed review of its provenance as well as a digital analysis and multispectral study conducted by the Belgian company IMEC in the Spring of 2019. The design of the study is a composite multidisciplinary approach, with traditional connoisseurship and literary research being augmented by scientific examination, using new digital processing and multispectral imaging techniques. The article argues that based on the available evidence, the Tongerlo Last Supper was produced in Leonardo’s Milanese workshop between 1507 and 1509, as a collaborative project involving the Leonardeschi Giampietrino, Andrea Solario and Marco d’Oggiono under Leonardo’s supervision. Furthermore, the infrared spectography scans suggest that the face of John in the painting may have been painted by Leonardo himself. The study was funded by IMEC Belgium; Fielding Graduate University of Santa Barbara, CA; Brown Discoveries, LLC of North Carolina, and conducted with the gracious permission of the Premonstratensian Abbey of Tongerlo, Belgium. Key words: Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519); Last Supper; Technical Art History; Multispectral Imaging; the art of the Leonardeschi. Fig. 1. Studio of Leonardo da Vinci, Last Supper (after Leonardo), known as the Tongerlo copy, 1507-1509. Introduction For the last 450 years, the Tongerlo canvas of the Last Supper has been quietly occupying a wall in a chapel on the grounds of the Premonstratensian Abbey of Tongerlo near Westerlo, about an hour’s drive from the Belgian city of Antwerp.

    LA BELLA PRINCIPESSA and THE WARSAW SFORZIAD Circumstances of Rebinding and Excision of the Portrait Katarzyna Woźniak 10.05.2015 In the study titled La Bella Principessa and the Warsaw Sforziad, published in January 2011, Professor Kemp provided evidence that the portrait of Bianca Sforza was a part of an illuminated book printed on vellum - La Sforziada by Giovannni Simonetta, stored in the National Library in Warsaw1. The excision took place, most probably, during the process of rebinding. This was done meticulously, as his paper showed, although the knife slipped at near the bottom of the left edge2. At that moment, the portrait and the book were separated from each other and ceased to share the same fortune. 1. Images indicating that portrait of La Bella Principessa was part of a bound volume Author: Pascal Cotte My research initiated as a result of this discovery shows that the most probable date of rebinding of the Warsaw copy of La Sforziada was the turn of the 18th and 19th century3. The following text is an introduction to the first general analysis of the problems concerning 1 Martin Kemp and Pascal Cotte, La Bella Principessa and the Warsaw Sforziad (2010), The Leonardo da Vinci Society: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/hosted/leonardo/#MM 2 M.
