VENICE. The dream of achieving the great galleries of the Accademia di Venezia finally find fulfillment. The wide open spaces on the ground floor of the old Convent of Charity, first occupied by the Academy of Fine Arts moved elsewhere to allow the restoration and expansion of the museum, more than two years had remained empty until the funds promised by the Ministry for the ‘ construction. Now the “jewel empty” due to some substantial private sponsorship began to shine.
Five of the 13 new rooms have been set up thanks to robust funding allocated by Samsung that also collaborated to provide a strong technological capacity to throughout the exhibition. 46 works that today can be admired, some never exhibited before. First for the galleries a layout designed to core themes of particular accessibility to the public. If the first meeting will be purely introductory courses to the museum, offering maps and interactive touchscreen, next to life educational space dedicated to young people.
The portraits of the artists who lived between ’700 and’ 800 members that were outstanding Venetian Academy, educated with the tools of the trade – palettes, canvases, matitatoio, chisels – in hand (from Crespi to Hayez, in Lipparini) welcome the public in an impressive atrium reminiscent. The third room will be dedicated to the great Venetian painting ceilings: Tiepolo and Veronese the visual impact will be substantial.
For thrill visitors with an imposing and a proximity breathtaking a giant oval sacred subject of Tiepolo, inclined to enhance the proportions designed to be seen from below. Beside the famous painting by Veronese with Ceres and Hercules that pay homage to Venice, in addition to an extensive series of sketches of other masters. The fourth room will introduce the audience in the middle of the seventeenth-century collectors to remember how Venice was among the first Italian towns to develop, from the third decade of the ’600, the fashion of private art galleries.
The focal point a diagonal wall that will play a seventeenth-century paintings, mixing Flemish painting, landscapes, still lives and works of ancient taste. The fifth room, characterized by a large window overlooking the Palladian facade of the Convent of the Lateran Canons, will focus on the history of all: thanks to a story in pictures made by Iuav you will learn about the architectural and urban transformations and the insula building complex that houses the Accademia Gallery.
“The most important – says the new director Giulio Manieri Elia – is that the sponsors who supported us in the preparation of these first 5 meeting announced It will help us to allestirne two, exactly the large halls that will be dedicated to the ’600 and’ 700, while other sponsorships from associations involved in the defense of Venice will allow us to complete by 2016 the entire ground floor with the staging area Palladian with chalks of Canova and a room entirely dedicated to Hayez. Another decisive step to complete the project will be the restoration of the Great Gallery of the first floor, which will house the oldest part of the collection with works from ’300 to’ 500 ‘.
