IL RINASCIMENTO EUROPEO DI ANTOINE DE LONHY

The first section of the exhibition is hosted at the Diocesan Museum in Susa, the second will open to the public at Palazzo Madama - Civic Museum of Ancient Art in Torino from September 23rd, 2021 to January 9th, 2022 and will make the entire itinerary available to visitors. The exhibition was conceived of and organized in close complementarity between the two museums. The exhibition aims at recomposing the figure of Antoine de Lonhy, a multifaceted artist - he was a painter, a miniaturist, master of stained glass, sculptor and author of embroidery designs - who had an extraordinarily important impact for the renewal of the figurative landscape of the territory of the contemporary Piedmont of the second half of the fifteenth century. Having come into contact with the Flemish, Mediterranean and Savoyard culture, he was the bearer of a European concept of the Renaissance, characterized by the ability to synthesize various figurative languages.
