For the first time in the Lombard capital one of the artist's most important masterpieces
From February 22nd to May 7th, the Museo Diocesano 'Carlo Maria Martini' in Milan will host one of the most important masterpieces by Masaccio (San Giovanni Valdarno 1401 – Rome 1428), an artist who revolutionized the history of Italian painting in the XNUMXth century.
This is the Crucifixion, now preserved in the Museum and Royal Wood of Capodimonte in Naples, a panel that was once the cusp of the polyptych created in 1426 on commission from the notary ser Giuliano di Colino degli Scarsi da San Giusto for his chapel in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Pisa, then dismembered at the end of the XNUMXth century.
The exhibition, curated by Nadia Righi, director of the Diocesan Museum of Milan, and Alessandra Rullo, curator of the department of paintings and sculptures of the 1999th, XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries of the Museum and Royal Wood of Capodimonte, is dedicated to Alberto Crespi, a refined collector who recently passed away and who donated his important collection of forty-one works on gold backgrounds to the Diocesan Museum in XNUMX.
