Parma - National Gallery
8 FEBRUARY - 15 MAY 2003
Vienna - Kunsthinstoriches museum
1 JUNE - 14 SEPTEMBER 2003
On
the occasion of the V centenary of the birth of Parmigianino
(Gerolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, Parma 1503 - Casalmaggiore
1540), Parma will host the first great exhibition dedicated
to one of the founders of European Mannerism in the rooms of
the National Gallery.
Promoted by the Committee for the celebration of the V centenary
of the birth of Parmigianino, the exhibition has been set up
by the Service for historic, artistic and demo-ethno-anthropological
heritage, in collaboration with the Kunsthinstorisches Museum
of Vienna, and with the contribution of the most important scholars
of the artist and Mannerism. The works exhibited have been given
on loan for the occasion by some of the largest museums in the
world. The exhibition space
is divided into seven sections:
"The graphic and pictorial works of Parmigianino"
"Mannerism in Tuscany and Emilia"
"Mannerism in Veneto"
"The Wunderkammer"
"The Parma school in the VXI Century."
"Mannerism in France in the XVI Century."
"Nordic and German Mannerism in the XVI Century."
Altogether, the event offers a programme which is unique in
deepening understanding not only the figure of Parmigianino,
whose versatile activity defined the Sixteenth century in
Parma, but also the culture and the art of the sixteenth century
both in Italy and throughout Europe.
