Corpi moderni.
The Making of the Body in Renaissance Venice. Leonardo, Michelangelo, Dürer, Giorgione
The Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice is pleased to announce the next major exhibition. Corpi moderni. La costruzione del corpo nella Venezia del Rinascimento. Leonardo, Michelangelo, Dürer, Giorgione, visitable from April 4 to July 27, 2025.
Curated by Giulio Manieri Elia, Guido Beltramini, and Francesca Borgo, the exhibition offers a fascinating exploration of the conception of the human body that emerged in Renaissance Venice, spanning art, science, and material culture. Corpi moderni delves into how, for the first time, the body was conceived as a field of scientific investigation, an object of desire, and a means of self-expression. The Renaissance marks a turning point where the body is no longer merely a biological entity but a cultural construct, shaped by science, art, and social conventions.
The exhibition brings together extraordinary works of art, some presented in Italy for the first time, including drawings, paintings, and sculptures from the most prestigious international and national museums and collections. Masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Albrecht Dürer, Titian, Giorgione, and Giovanni Bellini are featured alongside scientific instruments, anatomical models, books, garments, miniatures, and everyday objects.
