THE EXHIBITION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From March 7 to July 6, 2025<\/strong>, in conjunction with the 2025 Jubilee celebrations, the\u00a0Gallerie Nazionali di Arte Antica<\/strong>, in collaboration with\u00a0Galleria Borghese<\/strong>, with the support of the Directorate-General of Museums of the Italian Ministry of Culture and the backing of its\u00a0Main Partner Intesa Sanpaolo<\/strong>, present\u00a0Caravaggio 2025<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a0Palazzo Barberini<\/strong>, curated by\u00a0Francesca Cappelletti<\/strong>,\u00a0Maria Cristina Terzaghi<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Thomas Clement Salomon<\/strong>. One of the most important and ambitious projects featuring\u00a0Michelangelo Merisi<\/strong>, known as Caravaggio (1571 \u2013 1610), with an exceptional number of\u00a0autograph paintings\u00a0<\/strong>and an itinerary of\u00a0difficult-to-view pieces and new discoveries<\/strong>\u00a0in one of the places symbolizing the connection between this artist and his patrons.
Examining the context that drove Caravaggio to the forefront of world art, Palazzo Barberini will be hosting these works in a display that highlights the power and modernity of his painting, one of the greatest painting masters of all time. By bringing together some of his\u00a0most celebrated works<\/strong>, alongside others that are\u00a0lesser known<\/strong>\u00a0but equally as significant, this exhibition offers\u00a0new, in-depth reflections<\/strong>\u00a0on this master\u2019s artistic and cultural revolution, exploring for the very first time and within such a broad context\u00a0the innovation he injected into the artistic, religious and social landscape of the time<\/strong>. The works showcased include: the\u00a0Portrait of Maffeo Barberini<\/em>, recently put on public display over sixty years after its rediscovery and now shown alongside other paintings by Merisi for the very first time;\u00a0Ecce Homo<\/em>, currently displayed at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid and returning to Italy for the first time in centuries; alongside other\u00a0exceptional loans\u00a0<\/strong>such as the\u00a0Saint Catherine of Alexandria<\/em>\u00a0from the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, a masterpiece once already part the Barberini collections which will be returning to Palazzo Barberini, where it was housed; and\u00a0Martha and Mary Magdalene<\/em>\u00a0from the Detroit Institute of Arts, featuring the same model the artist used in the\u00a0Judith and Holofernes<\/em>\u00a0preserved in Palazzo Barberini, all displayed side-by-side for the first time. The exhibition is also an opportunity to see three paintings commissioned by the banker Ottavio Costa reunited again:\u00a0Judith and Holofernes<\/em>\u00a0from Palazzo Barberini,\u00a0Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness<\/em>\u00a0from the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City and\u00a0Saint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy<\/em>\u00a0from the Wadsworth Atheneum of Art in Hartford, as well as other works connected to the Barberini family\u2019s history of art collecting, such as\u00a0The Cardsharps<\/em>\u00a0from the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, which will be returning to the Roman palazzo where it was once long conserved. The selection of works concludes with an important loan from Intesa Sanpaolo:\u00a0The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula<\/em>, Merisi\u2019s last painting done shorty before his death.

On 9 July the exhibition is closed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 10 July “The Musicians” from the Metropolitan Museum of New York will no longer be on display<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
