Virtual guided tour of Ferrara's National GalleryTeasing your curiosity
Sunday 4 April h.9pm
The National Gallery of Ferrara is located on the nobil floor of Palazzo dei Diamanti, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, featuring the magnificent Salone d’Onore and the sixteenth-century apartments of Virginia de’ Medici. The museum offers an important selection of paintings from Ferrara spanning from the thirteenth to the eighteenth centuries: great Medieval fresco cycles from the Church ofi Saint Bartlemy and the Church of Saint Andrew; seventeenth-century canvases by Scarsellino, Carlo Bononi and Guercino; sketches by the Gandolfi and Crespi artist families. Of particular note is the collection of fifteenth-century paintings by the late Gothic masters, followed by Cosmè Tura, Ercole de’ Roberti and other artists of the Ferrara School alongside painters from other Italian areas, such as Gentile da Fabriano, Mantegna and Carpaccio. Since its creation in 1836, the Pinacoteca has reunited several sixteenth-century altarpieces from churches closed by Napoleon, made by Garofalo and Bastianino. The former was one of the most talented followers of Raphael in Northern Italy, creating works such as the majestic Costabili Polyptych made in collaboration with the Giorgionesque Dosso Dossi, whilst the latter’s dramatic creations coincided with the end of the Estense domain in Ferrara.
