This is one of the most anticipated exhibitions of the new year: a large expo dedicated to masterpieces by the Brueghel dynasty. An illustrated history of the extraordinary talent of the most distinguished family of Flemish artists between the 16^th and 17^th centuries. Works on exhibit arrive from the most prestigious private collections and museums in Italy and abroad. The talent and the vision of humanity (even grotesque at times) of the Brueghel dynasty left a mark on the history of art for centuries to come. Brueghel was influenced by the work of Bosch and personifies the powers of observation and representation. Never limiting himself to simple moral teachings, but succeeding in tracing a vast universe of human types.

The Museo di Roma at Palazzo Braschi is hosting an exhibit until 7 April dedicated to the great Canova. Works chosen for the show make up the world’s largest collection: 79 sketches accompanied by 15 etches, 6 original plaster models, 4 temperas, an oil painting, two terra cottas and two marbles that allow visitors to visualize all stages of a work of art, from its conception to its realization. This exhibit takes on the study of Canova’s design from two points of view: a stylistic one (illustrating its characteristics and how it relates to that of his contemporaries) and one exploring the initial concept of a work.

The halls of Rome’s Palazzo delle Esposizioni will host over 200 original photographs taken by Doisneau in the City of Lights between 1934 and 1991, grouped together by themes. The exhibition leads the spectator through an exciting journey into the gardens of Paris, along the Seine and through the streets of the city and suburbs to then take them to Parisian bistros, fashion houses and art galleries. Doisneau was the author of a great number of photographic works, most of which were taken in Paris. He was also to become France’s most illustrious exponent of “humanist” photography. His pictures are now found in some of the greatest collections in France, the United States and Great Britain. They are also exhibited throughout the world.

The Museo Canonica is offering a never-before-seen exhibition that compares works by Italian sculptor Gabriels (Paolo Gabrielli) to some of those by Pietro Canonica. These two marvellous artists will be displayed face-to-face for a “reflection” upon the images linked to the pathos of the Nymphet and its gradual decline and decay in today’s world followed by its current incarnation as the modern Cute Nymphet toy (Etant Dunny). Works by Gabriels are reconnected to the “cute” dimension of Takashi Murakami and Yoshitomo Nara as well as to American Pop Surrealism and Japanese Superflat, although these reconfirm a truly European cultural tradition.

Trajan’s Market is hosting an exhibition dedicated to the great Spanish artist Pedro Cano. The show is similar to a journey through his recollections to illustrate the colours, history and secrets of three islands – Majorca, Patmos, Sicily – and the six cities of Alexandria, Cartagena, Istanbul, Naples, Split and Venice. Pedro Cano dedicates six images to every city and island in his loving homage to the sea and the places he visited during his travels: watercolour paintings on paper are mounted to form a single composition. The artist will accompany visitors on guided tours where children can also learn about the art of colour and shape in order to make their experience more gratifying.
