Dosso Dossi. The Aeneas Frieze

Starting today until 11th June it will be on view “Dosso Dossi. The Aeneas Frieze”, the first exhibition dedicated to the great Ferrarese master’s pictorial cycle, curated byMarina Minozzi.⁠ ⁠ For the first time, five of the ten canvases, of which only seven have been found, that made up the frieze created by Dosso Dossi between 1518 and 1520 for the Camerino d’Alabastro of Duke Alfonso I d’Este in Ferrara are being brought together in a single location. The operation, also prompted by enthusiasm for the recent reappearance of some of these paintings, is the result of an ambitious collaboration with the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Museo del Prado in Madrid.⁠ ⁠ The vibrant colours, the original compositions and the fairy-tale narration make these canvases a brilliant example of the artist’s creativity and of the sixteenth-century Ferrara artistic environment.⁠
