Giuseppe Antonio Petrini
Overview
Intro
More than thirty years after the last solo exhibition dedicated to him, the Giovanni Züst Cantonal Art Gallery returns to the work of the Ticino painter Giuseppe Antonio Petrini (Carona, 1677–1757), a
About 80 paintings are on display, drawn from public and private collections, including prestigious museums, with the aim of taking stock of the research dedicated to the artist and offering the public the opportunity to admire, gathered in a single location, the finest examples of his work, including previously unseen pieces and paintings that have not been exhibited for many years.
As part of this exhibition project and the accompanying publication, two of the four Evangelists—preserved in Segovia and Valladolid—which have recently been attributed to him are being presented to the public for the first time.
Numerous new biographical details have also emerged from archival research conducted for the exhibition, which has made it possible to update information regarding the painter’s biography and finally establish the year of his death, which occurred at the age of eighty in 1757.
In addition to numerous works held in public and private collections in Ticino, the exhibition includes paintings from the Louvre, the Kunstmuseum in Basel, the Kunsthaus in Zurich, the Giorgio Franchetti Gallery at the Ca’ d’Oro in Venice, the Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart, and numerous churches in Lombardy and Piedmont.
