Entrance of Cappelle Medicee

Domenico Pesenti

Palazzo Te

Palazzo Te
Mantova, Italy

This painting dates to 1889 and is an excellent example of the artistic talent of Pesenti. The way he deals with volume is remarkable, here the architectonic elements of the chapels are used to create spaces that become progressively more illuminated. At the back there is a group of people, and the light grows stronger, giving the impression that they are standing at the end of a gallery. Here the artist can be rightly defined as classical, his painting being timeless.
