Dialogo sulla Misericordia pairs Old Masters with 19th-century Italian works at San Salvatore in Lauro

The exhibition 'Dialogo sulla Misericordia dal Seicento all’Ottocento' at Rome's Complesso Monumentale di San Salvatore in Lauro juxtaposes eleven pairs of paintings from different centuries, exploring the theme of mercy. Works include Anthonis van Dyck's 'L'Apparizione di Cristo agli Apostoli', Luigi Nono's 'Le due madri', Antiveduto Grammatica's 'Maria Maddalena al sepolcro di Cristo risorto', and Silvestro Lega's 'L'elemosina' (1864). The show is a collaboration between Pio Sodalizio dei Piceni, Il Cigno GG Edizioni, and the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, which contributed pieces from its Western European art collection. Curated by Sergej O. Androsov and Paolo Serafini, the exhibition runs until September 25, 2016. The display emphasizes color as a unifying element across stylistic differences, inviting viewers to find visual connections between Baroque and 19th-century Italian painting.
