News from Italy that the Carrara Academy of Bergamo will be celebrating the 500th year anniversary of Lorenzo Lotto's departure from Bergamo with a special exhibition entitled Inside Lorenzo Lotto - From the San Bernardino Altarpiece to the Photographs of Axel Hütte.
According to Finestre sull'Arte:
In the 500th year since Lorenzo Lotto’s departure from Bergamo, after 12 years of intense activity, the Carrara Academy celebrates the artist by exceptionally hosting the San Bernardino Altarpiece, a masterpiece from the church of the same name located just 500 meters from the museum, which is currently closed to the public. This is an itinerary that, in addition to celebrating the painter, will include an original photographic intervention by Axel Hütte, who will appropriate Lotto’s painting to tell its story through the contemporary language of photography.
The show will run from 11th April until 31st August 2025.
