About the exhibition
For the first time in Italy a retrospective on Max Ernst, the painter, sculptor, engraver, poet and art theorist. “Pictor doctus”, profound connoisseur and visionary interpreter of the history of art, philosophy and science, Ernst is presented through this project as a “humanist” in a neo-Renaissance sense of the word.
The exhibition will showcase more than 400 pieces, some never seen in Italy, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, illustrated books, jewellery from international museums, foundations and private collections.
