Italian Renaissance

At the beginning of the 15th century, Italy experienced a cultural rebirth, a Renaissance that would massively affect all sectors of society. Turning away from the preceding Gothic and Romanesque periods’ iconography, Florentine artists spurred a rejuvenation of the glories of classical art in line with a more humanistic and individualistic emerging contemporary era.

Based in this flourishing new environment that empowered people to fully immerse themselves in studies of the humanities, funded by the generosity of the Medici family, early Renaissance artists began to create work intensified by knowledge of architecture, philosophy, theology, mathematics, science, and design. The innovations that emerged in art during this period would go on to cause reverberations, which continue to influence creative and cultural arenas today.

The multimedia exhibition «Italian Renaissance» is the story of four masters of their time – Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Botticelli – with their work dynamically presented with surround sound and large projections. Legendary frescos from historic Italian buildings and canvases from museums all over the world are brought to life with the help of digital technologies. The exhibition captivates the viewer with a flood of colours and sound.

‘Italian Renaissance’ exhibition is also a serious educational platform. Before entering the multimedia show, visitors will be able to take in the biographies of the artists and stories of their most famous works and the period.
