Artful Tradition
A pupil first of Giambellino and later on of Giorgione in Venice, Sebastiano del Piombo skillfully mediated between the former’s traditional figurative culture and Giorgione’s revolution.
Sebastiano's extraordinary life is the subject of a retrospective exhibition that follows his entire stylistic evolution as a cntemporary of Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Giorgione and Titian. The eighty works exhibited, including imposing paintings, full-scale portraits, small paintings on slate, cartoons and comparison works, reveal a sequence that offers the public a true journey, not to be missed.
