Vedova-Tintoretto dialogue at Palazzo Madama in Turin
The exhibition titled 'Vedova Tintoretto. In dialogo' at Turin's Palazzo Madama explores the impact of 16th-century artist Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti, 1518–1594) on 20th-century painter Emilio Vedova (1919–2006). It showcases Tintoretto's self-portrait from 1588, sourced from the Louvre, alongside a 1984 photograph of Vedova taken by Paolo Mussat Sartor. Curated by Gabriella Belli and Giovanni Carlo Federico Villa, the display features works from both artists, emphasizing Vedova's interpretation of Tintoretto's colors and forms. Notable pieces include Vedova's pastel 'Interpretazione del trasporto di San Marco dal Tintoretto' and his 'Compresenze' series, as well as four self-portraits by Vedova, culminating in his installation '...in continuum, compenetrazioni/traslati ’87/’88.'
