At the Campo Santo dei Miracoli Pisani: the Triumph of Death and other stories
14 December 2024
This exhibition, commissioned by ALI, the Association of Free Engravers ‘Luciano De Vita’ based in Bologna, features 90 works that show how the history of Pisan civilisation has offered countless possible openings for the research and creative proposition of 50 engravers.
The curators of the project, Marco Fiori and Marzio Dall’Acqua, have suggested to the artists to focus on the Triumph of Death, a grandiose memento mori that, together with the Final Judgement and Inferno of Dante’s correlation and the Thebaid, was executed in the mid 14th century by Buffalmacco, one of the most prominent representatives of Gothic art in Tuscany.
The exhibition captivates visitors by also offering opportunities to reflect on the present time.
