From now until June 16, the Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome is finally paying homage to one of the best artists of 16th century Europe with a show that highlights his entire pictorial career and his never-ending quest for excellence and innovation through color. In all, there are about 40 works on display and they cover, decade by decade, the various artistic stages of the Italian painter’s career starting with his first Venetian works followed by his masterpieces in the workshops of Giovanni Bellini and Giorgione (where he learned to use color and then personalized his works with amazing success) right up until the period when he obtained the patronage of the great dignitaries of his time.
