  • Cagnacci's “Repentant Magdalene”
    CAGNACCI’S “REPENTANT MAGDALENE” AN ITALIAN BAROQUE MASTERPIECE COMES TO THE FRICK THIS FALL October 25, 2016, through January 22, 2017 Guido Cagnacci was one of the most eccentric painters of seventeenth-century Italy, infamous for his unconventional art and lifestyle. His works, mostly religious in subject, are known for their unabashed, often unsettling eroticism, and his biography is no less intriguing. Though his pictorial style was influenced by some of the most important Italian painters of the time—the Carracci, Guercino, and Guido Reni—Cagnacci developed an individual and immediately recognizable artistic language. This October, the Frick will present Cagnacci’s ambitious Repentant Magdalene, considered a masterpiece of seventeenth-century Italian art, and a work that has not been seen outside California since Guido Cagnacci (1601–1663), The Repentant Magdalene, ca. 1660−63, oil on canvas, 90 1/4 x 104 3/4 inches, Norton Simon Art Foundation, Pasadena, California its acquisition by the Norton Simon Museum almost thirty- five years ago. A testament to Cagnacci’s genius, this extraordinary painting—the latest in a series of loans to the Frick from the Norton Simon Museum, in Pasadena—will introduce New York audiences to this largely forgotten artist. Cagnacci’s “Repentant Magdalene”: An Italian Baroque Masterpiece from the Norton Simon Museum was organized by Xavier F. Salomon, Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator, The Frick Collection. Principal funding for the exhibition is generously provided by the Robert H. Smith Family Foundation. Major support for the exhibition and the accompanying book, The Art of Guido Cagnacci, is provided by Fabrizio Moretti, with additional support from Mr.

  • Palazzo Sagredo Arti E Artisti Arts and Artists
    PALAZZO SAGREDO ~°~ ARTI E ARTISTI ARTS AND ARTISTS Ca’ Sagredo, splendido palazzo veneziano risalente al XIII secolo, prende il nome dall’ultima nobile famiglia veneziana che l’ha posseduto e amato. Teatro di numerosi episodi legati alla storia della Serenissima, culla di arte e conoscenza, luogo di meraviglia e stupore, nonostante i secoli e i mutamenti conserva ancora intaccata la sua bellezza. Ca’ Sagredo, the wonderful Venetian Palace on the Grand Canal, takes its name from the last noble Venetian family who has owned and loved it. A theatre of many episodes bound to the Serenissima, a cradle of art and knowledge, a place for wonder and amazement, despite centuries and changes the Palace still preserves its untouched beauty. LA SALA DELLA MUSICA Nella dorata e preziosa Sala della Musica, innumerevoli affreschi attribuiti a Gaspare Diziani rivestono completamente le pareti e il soffitto dal quale, entro una finta balaustra, appare Apollo sul carro del sole circondato dagli altri dei dell’Olimpo mentre fa precipitare i vizi capitali. Entro finte nicchie disposte lungo le pareti sono collocate le figure monocromatiche di Minerva, Nettuno, Cibele, Marte, Venere, Mercurio, Giunone e Giove. Le differenze stilistiche che non sfuggono all’occhio dell’osservatore attento testimoniano il contributo di artisti minori, seppur sia ben riconoscibile la mano di Diziani nelle figure di Venere e Minerva. Ancora oggi, grazie all’acustica perfetta, la musica sempre presente in questa sala sa essere davvero avvolgente: semplicemente sfiorando la tastiera del pianoforte e accennando qualche nota, come per incanto le figure degli affreschi sembrano prender vita. Dal soffitto scendono splendidi lampadari in preziosa foglia d’oro, mentre sul pavimento campeggia grandioso lo stemma araldico della casata dei Sagredo.
