An exhibition focused on the last
ten years of Max Pellegrini’s work,
mostly
previously
undisplayed,
where we can find an evolution
of his poetics, towards a delicate
symbolism in which he links literary
citations to an elegant linear and
chromatic style. His personal path,
the one of an outsider enamoured
with painting, is summarized in these
large canvases, where we can see the
different inspirations and experiences
that nurtered him: psychedelia and
protest, the love for history of art
and the experiments of avant-garde,
classical knowledge and post-modern
thinking.
On view from January 15, 2013 to
February 15, 2014.

PIERO DELLA FRANCESCA
Piero della Francesca (1412-1492) is an
Italian artist of the Early Renaissance.
Known to his contemporaries as a
mathematician and geometer as well as
a painter, he is now chiefly appreciated
for his art. His painting was characterized
by a serene humanism and the use of
geometric forms, particularly in relation
to perspective and foreshortening. He
was born and died in the small town of
Borgo Santo Sepolcro in Tuscany and
may have learned his trade from one of
several Sienese artists working in San
Sepolcro during his youth. He was active
in Tuscany, in Rome, in Rimini and in
Urbino, where he painted the Madonna
di Senigallia, one of his most famous
masterworks, which is now housed in the
Galleria Nazionale delle Marche (Urbino).
