Piranesi, the dreams of reason

An exhibition at the Fondazione Cini

After more than two thousand years to the center stage at the end of the eighteenth century Italy would have been dismissed history. Device clearly in the guidelines of the European neo-classicism in the nineteenth century inhabited by an eclectic provincial and characterized later by a contradictory modernity would follow the decay of a Mediterranean that it had made a fortune. The dismissal, however, was not silent. The last fires of a long tradition, in contrast, would produce a generation late heroic Tiepolo, Rosalba, Canaletto and Piranesi. Just Piranesi, whose many-sided figure is given until 21 November, an exhibition at the Fondazione Cini refined by Michele De Lucchi. Architect, engraver, intellectual, antiquarian view painter, designer, according to a total conception of art enhanced initiative Venice where you can see some of the furniture and furnishings made that he had dreamed in his prints. Artist
according to the Italian humanistic tradition that brings with it all the classical genius born and flourished between the Renaissance and Baroque, a student of Matthew and John Lucchesi Scalfurotto universalism in Venice and then Rome, Piranesi would have created a brand new genre: the graphical views, including attention and antiquarian whim. The colossal ruins of Roman civilization that Italy knows unparalleled decadence, complacency in the face of immense rococo destructive force of nature that the failures of this explains everything. Shades cultured from curators who have shaped the taste for classical antiquity in the fashion in emerging European market with a lack of confidence throughout Italy looks to the past with nostalgic admiration.
Piranesi ambiguous and polymorphic, therefore, a rationalism that not being able to realize aspirations of the great on paper (as in extremely precise as imaginary plants archaeological Rome), studying an antique ideal of reason is like a dream. Artist emblematic of a country that is not fully able to make the leap to modernity and that will be long before the match with a new generation of European artists of the giants of Masonic theophanies Tiepolo or perspective views by Canaletto severely shaken by a tremor atmospheric flavor yet baroque.
