In Genoa, Palazzo della Meridiana hosts, from February 14 to June 28, 2020, the exhibition Da Cambiaso a Magnasco. Genoese Glimpses, an exhibition entirely dedicated to portraiture in the city from the late 16th century to the early 18th century.

Set up in five rooms on the second floor of the palace, the exhibition brings together portrayals of illustrious figures from Genoese history and beyond, portrayed by Luca Cambiaso and Alessandro Magnasco, but also by Domenico Fiasella, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, Giovanni Battista Gaulli, Gio. Enrico Vaymer, Domenico Piola, Gio. Bernardo Carobene, Jan Roos, Bernardo Strozzi, and il Mulinarettto, to name a few of the artists present.

With about forty works on display, the exhibition investigates, for the first time in an in-depth and up-to-date way in Genoa, the important chapter of Genoese portraiture from the mid-sixteenth century (dominated by a giant of painting such as Luca Cambiaso) until the first half of the eighteenth century, when with Alessandro Magnasco and then also Mulinaretto and others, we witness the fascinating alternation of signs of euphoria and crisis.

The exhibition is curated by Anna Orlando, and it is the fifth realized by the curator since 2016 to date at Palazzo della Meridiana.
