THE REVOLUTION OF THE SCAPIGLIATURA IN MILAN

Written by Silvia Bosi July 1, 2009


Milan, June 2009: at Palazzo Reale an extraordinary and rich exhibition is being held to celebrate the “Scapigliatura” until the 22nd November. 
Milan, around 1860: painters Tranquillo Cremona, Vespasiano Bignami, Eleuterio Pagliano and Sebastiano De Albertis adhered to the «Società de la confusion» giving life to a new movement called “Scapigliatura”. While in the Nineteenth century Paris was becoming the propulsive centre of the international artistic scene, in the more gathered Milanese reality a post-romantic current was taking shape, generated by a widespread intolerance towards the inflexible academic system.

ROME, DISCOVERED A RARE RUBENS ETCHING

Written by Elena Lanzanova June 29, 2009


2064992728-riappare-roma-rarissima-acquaforte-rubens-sparita-dal-1836.jpg After half a millennium art can still reserve nice surprises. A very rare etching by the famous Flemish artist Pieter Paul Rubens has been retrieved in Rome. Traces of the work had been lost since 1836 when in his book “The classical prints” professor Giulio Ferrario referred to a study of the artist based on Leonardo da Vinci’s painting entitled The Last Supper. Since that moment critics and experts had looked for it without results, until a few days ago when this precious work of art was retrieved thanks to a Roman psychologist. Gilberto Di Benedetto, who owned an anonymous print inherited by his father 12 years ago, decided to show it to professor Andrea De Liberis and professor Alfredo Pasolino with the intention of selling it to finance a study on  electro-iontophoresis. This led to the surprising discovery: Gilberto Di Benedetto discovered that he owned a precious etching and had a fortune in his hands. The market quotation of Rubens’s etchings is high, but not stratospheric; perhaps he is one of the few old master’s even able to get hammer prices similar to those of contemporary art.
