Titian Landscapes Exhibition Opens Celebrations in Cadore
A new exhibition, titled 'Tiziano e il Paesaggio,' has launched at the Palazzo della Magnifica Comunità di Cadore in Pieve di Cadore, celebrating the 450th anniversary of Titian's passing. This showcase, aligned with the Milano-Cortina 2026 Cultural Olympiad, presents two significant pieces: the Pala Gozzi from 1520, housed in Ancona's Pinacoteca Civica 'Francesco Podesti,' and a notable 120 x 220 cm xylograph depicting the 'Sommersione dell'esercito del Faraone nel Mar Rosso' from around 1515. Curators Bernard Aikema and Dalla Costa emphasize the artist's groundbreaking approach to landscape in this collection.
