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. Though many people around the world recognize the work of Leonardo, they may not have had the chance to see his artworks in Europe; with the project Opera Omnia, the opportunity to see and enjoy the works of Leonardo Da Vinci, like “Mona Lisa” or “The Last Supper”, is now being given to the majority of Ugandans and tourists at large. It goes without saying that this will represent a unique occasion for Uganda and the entire region - not only in terms of cultural offer - but also for the potential impact that it will have on the growth of the tourism sector. - 1 - To mark the occasion, the Embassy of Italy has decided to renovate the main hall of the Uganda Museum and to give the entrance a fresh look, thanks also to the cooperation of the Private Sector. The designated Italian Ambassador to Uganda commented: “Leonardo was born in a small village in Tuscany (Italy) but his eclectic creative talent marveled his own era and the ones who followed, with his fame reaching every corner of the globe. He created the two most famous paintings in history: the Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. Driven by passion for innovative studies, he anticipated many of the great scientific discoveries ahead of his time (from calculators to helicopters, hydrodynamics to solar power), depicting him as the history’s most creative genius”. The Minister of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities said: “The Exhibition of Leonardo Da Vinci strengthens cultural exchange and promotes global understanding. Famous museums all over the world, host important works of art for the benefit of their communities and also attracting tourists to the destinations. This exhibition will raise the profile of the Uganda Museum and indeed Uganda as a heritage destination. This is an opportunity for regional visitors and international tourists to enrich their experience of rare and internationally acclaimed works of art in Uganda.” The Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation emphasized that “The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation in partnership with Ministry of Tourism Wildlife and Antiquities and Embassy of Italy invites all Ugandans, Members International Community, visitors to grace this event and use this opportunity to see and enjoy the entire pictorial corpus of the Artist in one place while enjoying the Italian music band “Ladri di Carrozzelle”, comprised by people with disabilities which bring to Uganda its mission of social inclusion and promotion of “diversity” through music. We also encourage all Political Leaders, Religious leaders, Embassies, Development partners, Non-Government Organizations, Civil Society Organizations, Institutions, Schools, Churches, Innovators, Artistes, People with disabilities, youth, women, elders and all of us to use this occasion to visit the Uganda Museum and see by ourselves the great arts of last supper of our Lord Jesus Christ, other arts and innovations during this life time opportunity.” The Uganda Tourism Board CEO commented: “The Leonardo Opera Omnia collection is an opportunity to showcase a true master’s work in one location for the first time. The choice for Uganda to be the first to unveil this collection shows our tourism capacity and capability, highlighted with the trust put in us by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Italy and the Embassy of Italy in Uganda. Furthermore, this partnership and collaboration shows our increasingly successful partnership with Italy, who can contribute greatly to our cultural exposure with their equally diverse and rich history. In this way, we share a strong connection and background. We are confident that this collection will increase the domestic, regional and international tourism receipts while providing an educational platform for so many that may not be well versed with Leonardo Da Vinci, his works and his uniquely inspiring life story” - 2 - According to Prof. Antonio Paolucci, one of the highest experts on Leonardo, curator of Opera Omnia and former Director of the Vatican Museums: “Painting was more a means than an end for Leonardo da Vinci. It was an instrument of knowledge, scientific research and avant-garde professional experimentation. It was therefore an eminent intellectual activity aimed at understanding, through imitation and interpretation of nature, the great machine of the world”. - ENDS - Note to Editors Leonardo (1452 - 1519) was born in a small village in Tuscany (Italy), son of a Florentine notary. When his family moved to Florence, he started his apprenticeship at Verrocchio’s shop, considered at the time as the pinnacle of avant-garde figurative experimentation and a centre of attraction for intellectuals and artists. His eclectic creative talent marveled his own era and the ones who followed, with his fame reaching every corner of the globe. Paintings on display: The Annunciation, Madonna and Child (Madonna of the Carnation), Ginevra de' Benci, Adoration of the Magi, St Jerome in the Wilderness, Madonna and Child with Flowers (Benois Madonna), Lady with an Ermine (Cecilia Gallerani), La Belle Ferronière, Portrait of a musician, Mona Lisa, The Last Supper (Cenacle), The Virgin of the Rocks (Paris Version), The Virgin of the Rocks (London Version), Head of a Woman (la Scapigliata), Saint John the Baptist, Bacchus, The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne.

  • 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.

Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano (Italy) and INFN, Sezione Milano-Bicocca. 3 CNR-IFN,piazza L. da Vinci, 20132 Milano (Italy). *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Non-invasive, portable analytical techniques are becoming increasingly widespread for the study and conservation in the field of cultural heritage, proving that a good data handling, supported by a deep knowledge of the techniques themselves, and the right synergy can give surprisingly substantial results when using portable but reliable instrumentation. In this work, pigment characterization was carried out on twenty-one Leonardesque paintings applying in situ XRF and FORS analyses. In-depth data evaluation allowed to get information on the colour palette and the painting technique of the different authors and workshops. Particular attention was paid to green pigments (for which a deeper study of possible pigments and alterations was performed with FORS analyses), flesh tones (for which a comparison with available data from cross sections was made) and ground preparation. Keywords pXRF, FORS, pigments, Leonardo’s workshop, Italian Renaissance INTRODUCTION “Tristo è quel discepolo che non ava[n]za il suo maestro” - Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master - Leonardo da Vinci, Libro di Pittura, about 1493 1. 1 The influence of Leonardo on his peers during his activity in Milan (1482-1499 and 1506/8-1512/3) has been deep and a multitude of painters is grouped under the name of leonardeschi , but it is necessary to distinguish between his direct pupils and those who adopted his manner, fascinated by his works even outside his circle.

  • ARTH206-Leonardo Da Vinci, Virgin of the Rocks-Article-Upload
    Leonardo’s Virgin of the Rocks SmartHistory There are two versions of Leonardo's Virgin of the Rocks. The one illustrated on this page (in Paris) is Leonardo's original Virgin of the Rocks (c. 1483-86) in the Louvre. The other is in London and is the subject of the video above. These two paintings are a good place to start to define the qualities of the new style of the High Renaissance. Leonardo painted both in Milan, where he had moved from Florence. Normally when we have seen Mary and Christ (in, for example, paintings by Lippi and Giotto), Mary has been enthroned as the queen of heaven. Here, in contrast, we see Mary seated on the ground. This type of representation of Mary is referred to as the Madonna of Humility. Mary has her right arm around the Infant Saint John the Baptist who is making a gesture of prayer to the Christ child. The Christ child in turn blesses St. John. Mary's left hand hovers protectively over the head of her son while an angel looks out and points to St. John. The figures are all located in a Source URL: http://smarthistory.khanacademy.org/leonardo-virgin-of-the-rocks.html?q=leonardo-virgin-of-the-rocks.html Saylor URL: http://www.saylor.org/courses/arth206/ Attributed to: [SmartHistory] www.saylor.org Page 1 of 1 fabulous and mystical landscape with rivers that seem to lead nowhere and bizarre rock formations. In the foreground we see carefully observed and precisely rendered plants and flowers. We immediately notice Mary's ideal beauty and the graceful way in which she moves, features typical of the High Renaissance.

  • 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].

Related subjects: British History 1750-1900; Geographers and explorers David Livingstone ( 19 March 1813 – 1 May 1873) was a British Congregationalist pioneer medical missionary with the London Missionary Society and explorer in central Africa. He was the first European David Livingstone to see Mosi-oa-Tunya (Victoria Falls), to which he gave the English name in honour of his monarch, Queen Victoria. He is the subject of the meeting with H. M. Stanley, which gave rise to the popular quotation, " Dr Livingstone, I presume?" Perhaps one of the most popular national heroes of the late-nineteenth century in Victorian Britain, Livingstone had a mythic status, which operated on a number of interconnected levels: that of Protestant missionary martyr, that of working-class "rags to riches" inspirational story, that of scientific investigator and explorer, that of imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader and advocate of commercial empire. His fame as an explorer helped drive forward the obsession with discovering the sources of the Nile River that formed the culmination of the classic period of European geographical discovery and colonial penetration of the African continent. At the same time his missionary travels, "disappearance" and death in Africa, and subsequent glorification as posthumous national hero in 1874 led to the founding of several major central African Christian missionary initiatives carried forward in the era of the European "Scramble for Africa." Early life Born 19 March 1813 David Livingstone was born on March 19, 1813 in the mill town of Blantyre, Lanarkshire, Scotland, into Blantyre, United Kingdom a Protestant family believed to be descended from the highland Livingstones, a clan that had been Died 4 May 1873 (aged 60) previously known as the Clan MacLea.
