Jean Clair's Inferno Exhibition at Scuderie del Quirinale
Curated by Jean Clair, the exhibition 'Inferno' at Rome's Scuderie del Quirinale explores the iconography of Hell from medieval times to contemporary art. It features works by Francesco Bertos, Beato Angelico, Auguste Rodin, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Franz von Stuck, and others. The show includes a section on Dante's Inferno, with pieces like Bouguereau's 'Dante and Virgil' and von Stuck's 'Lucifer'. Upper floors address earthly horrors through works by Otto Dix, Piranesi, Giacomo Balla, and Telemaco Signorini, ending with contemporary pieces by the Chapman brothers, Gerhard Richter, and Anselm Kiefer.
