Fantastic Creatures - Animals between Myth and Reality from Dürer to Cracking Art
The exhibition “Creature Fantastiche: animali tra mito e realtà da Dürer a Cracking Art” (Fantastic Creatures - Animals between Myth and Reality from Dürer to Cracking Art), curated by Lucia Barison and opened on 9 July, consists of bizarre and fantastic creatures and aims to tell the story of the ancient, symbolic and evocative power of animals in history and art by juxtaposing naturalistic objects and modern and contemporary works of art with Fogolino's 16th-century frescoes.
Fogolino's bizarre and imaginative grotesques inside the Assessorile Palace, in fact, reveal a universe of mythological and extravagant creatures that is amplified by the works on display. The goal was to create a place of wonder, magical and unexpected.
