Giuseppe Antonio Petrini

Description

About eighty paintings are presented, coming from public and private collections, including prestigious museum institutions, with the aim of reviewing the studies dedicated to the artist and offering the public the opportunity to admire, gathered in one place, the most beautiful works of his painting, including unpublished works and canvases that have not been exhibited for many years. As part of this exhibition project and its accompanying publication, two of the four evangelists, recently attributed to him and preserved in Segovia and Valladolid, are presented for the first time to the public. Many unpublished biographical details have also been uncovered through archival research conducted for the exhibition; they have updated the data related to the painter's biography and finally established the year of his death, which occurred at the age of eighty, in 1757. Besides numerous works held in public and private collections in Ticino, the exhibition features paintings from the Louvre, the Kunstmuseum Basel, the Kunsthaus Zurich, the Giorgio Franchetti Gallery at the Ca’ d’Oro in Venice, the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, and many religious buildings in Lombardy and Piedmont.
