D. Theotokopoulos: Between Venice and Rome
The exhibition is organized on the occasion of the quatercentenary of Dominicos Theotokopoulos鈥� death, centered around the two panels of the painter鈥檚 Italian period which are kept in Heraklion. These are The Baptism of Christ, which belongs to the Municipality of Heraklion, and the View of Mt Sinai and the Monastery of St Catherine, which was purchased by Andreas & Maria Kalokairinou Foundation in 1991.
The exhibition investigates the artist鈥檚 first steps in the West, during his stay in Venice and through the early stages of his residence in Rome (1567-1574).
With the help of paintings, engravings and manuscripts, visitors will be able to follow the blossoming art of the ambitious and defiant Cretan in the important artistic centres of post-Renaissance Italy.
