An exhibition of the Pushkin Museum and the Stella Art Foundation dedicated to Tintoretto has opened in Venice

In Venice, an exhibition of the Pushkin Museum and the Stella Art Foundation “At the end, there is a beginning. The Secret Brotherhood of Tintoretto. " The project in the framework of the “Pushkin XXI” direction is dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the birth of Tintoretto and takes place during the 58th Venice Biennale of Contemporary Art.

Installations by contemporary artists Dmitry Krymov, Irina Nakhova and Gary Hill filled the space of the Church of San Fantin. Each of its works in its own way interprets the most important motives of Tintoretto’s work, among which are the spiritual unity of people, the miracle motive, as well as his masterful work with the dynamics of space and the expressive possibilities of light. The works enter into dialogue with the Tintoretto canvas “The Origin of Love” from the collection of Pietro Scarpa, a picture of his follower of modernist artist Emilio Vedova and the historical context of the place.

Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets visited the exhibition and noted that the project was a tremendous success.

Among the guests of the opening: Ksenia Sobchak, Konstantin Bogomolov, Alena Doletskaya, Evelina Khromchenko, Andrey Bartenev, Zelfira Tregulova, Stella Kesaeva, Teresa Mavika, Olga Sviblova, Vasily Tsereteli, Alexey and Daria Ananyeva, Aidan Salakhova, Vika Gazinsky, Anton and Viktoria, Emelian Zakharov, Alexandra Vertinskaya, Roman Kovalishin, Oksana Bondarenko, Elena Zaitseva, Miranda Mirianashvili, Leonid Ogarev, Tatyana Peganova, Irina Volskaya and others.

The project was organized with the support of the partner of the Pushkin XXI direction - Mail. Ru Group.
