Bosch and Another Renaissance – Palazzo Reale of Milan

From 09/11 to 12/03/23 the exhibition Bosch and Another Renaissance can be visited at Palazzo Reale in Milan. The exhibition is curated by Bernard Aikema, Fernando Checa Cremades and Claudio Salsi, organized by 24 ORE Cultura-Gruppo 24 ORE and promoted by the Municipality of Milan, Palazzo Reale and Castello Sforzesco.

An unprecedented exhibition project, for the first time under the artistic direction of Palazzo Reale and Castello Sforzesco, which pays homage to the great Flemish genius Hieronymus Bosch and proposes a fascinating thesis: indeed, the exhibition recognizes in Bosch the emblem of an alternative Renaissance, far from the one governed from the myth of classicism, and therefore a proof of the existence of a plurality of Renaissances, with widespread artistic centers.

The exhibition itinerary presents a hundred works of art including paintings, sculptures, tapestries, engravings, bronzes and ancient volumes and includes thirty rare and precious objects from different Wünderkammern and some of the most famous masterpieces of the Master, never presented together before and put in dialogue with important works by other Flemish, Italian and Spanish masters, with the aim of explaining the influence of the Renaissance – not only Italian and not only Boschian – on great artists such as Titian, Raphael, Gerolamo Savoldo, El Greco and many others.

We are very proud of our set-up, which accompanies the visitor through a path capable of proposing an innovative thesis, argued through a selection of works of great importance that had never been displayed together in a single exhibition.
