Piranesi
Very soon, some of my favorite post-Renaissance artists is exposing in Belgium, or at least his works are finally brought together.
Giovanni Batista Piranesi, most famous for his “Carceri”, will be exposed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent.
I’ve always been fascinated by his works. For some reason, the imagination is so widespread, so far fetched that it’s so complicated to comprehend. To grasp what it’s all about. Composing, combining, rewriting, redrawing, … he did it all to create a vast world of imaginary dungeons. A sad look through the eyes of someone in the middle of progression. Rome was his point of no return. The world surrounding him became his playground.
I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve included some pics so you can have an idea what it’s all about!
Bert… Ik wil die expositie best zien… Waar loopt die ergens?
In’t MSK hier in Gent!
