The show

The exhibition "The art of engraving: great masters in the graphic collections of the Lecco Urban Museum System" , conceived and created by Barbara Cattaneo, will be hosted from 25 November 2022 to 15 October 2023 at the Graphics and Photography Section of Palazzo delle Paure , Matilde Bianchi and Elena Negri.

The exhibition stems from the intention of making Si.MUL's rich collection of prints and engravings known to the public (about 3,000) which can be enjoyed by the public only with ad hoc temporary exhibitions, through the choice of the various thematic nuclei present. The intent is to show an unpublished collection of etchings, woodcuts, lithographs and burin engravings. These are artistic techniques already developed in antiquity and used for the reproduction of works of art starting from the second half of the fifteenth century. The engravings that will be exhibited, after a long process of cataloging and restoration, reproduce some of the most spectacular works of art created by famous Italian and European artists between the 15th and 18th centuries.


The layout of the exhibition will focus on different thematic cores:

- Great artists of the Renaissance
- Vedutism
- Neoclassicism and Romanticism
- Portraiture


For the exhibition there is a special educational activity on the art of engraving for schools of all levels with the collaboration of an artist engraver, Bruno Biffi. For more information on teaching activities, please contact educazione.musei@biblioteca.lecco.it
