The comprehensive exhibition of the works of the Italian painter of the early Baroque Bernardo Strozzi (1582–1644) is being co-curated by Anna Orlando from Genoa, a distinguished scholar on Bernardo Strozzi and 17th century art culture in Genoa, and Greta Koppel, a curator at the Kadriorg Art Museum.

The exhibition brings together around 45 paintings and graphic works by this highly talented and versatile Italian artist, from European museums and from private collections, including masterpieces that have not been publicly displayed before. It is the first time that the two famous masterpieces by Strozzi, The Allegory of Painting (ca 1635, Palazzo Spinola, Genoa) and the Portrait of Barbara Strozzi (?) (ca. 1640, Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden) will be shown together.
