Prospero Fontana’s newly restored large altarpiece Vergine Assunta e santi<\/em> in dialogue with another painting by the artist from the Quadreria di Palazzo Magnani in Bologna and a reproduction of a Uffizi drawing.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The focus of the new exhibition, which, as always, sees the museum’s masterpieces in relation to other guest works, is the restoration of Prospero Fontana’s large altarpiece with The Assumption of the Virgin and Saints<\/em>, carried out in the Pinacoteca di Brera’s restoration laboratory, which has enabled the recovery of the Bolognese Mannerist’s extraordinary characteristic coloring, now totally obscured. The artist’s creative process was reconstructed thanks to historical and technical studies, supported by an extensive diagnostic campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
