Virtual Encounters: the Pinacoteca di Brera and the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana
At number 28 Via Brera, nestled in the picturesque atmosphere of a neighborhood that is becoming increasingly popular even with the younger generation, is the majestic Pinacoteca di Brera, a treasure chest.
In this virtual meeting we will take “a walk” through the corridors and newly renovated rooms of the Pinacoteca di Brera to admire its greatest masterpieces.
A building that has a long history behind it. Just think that the Pinacoteca di Brera was founded during the Napoleonic era and bears witness to centuries of history through unforgettable paintings and works: from the Venetian, Lombard and Central Italian Renaissance to the works of the likes of Canaletto, Caravaggio and Hayez.
If, however, you are an admirer of Caravaggio and his masterful contrasts of light, you cannot fail to visit – albeit virtually – the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana in Milan: here, in fact, are kept some unmissable masterpieces, such as Caravaggio’s famous Basket of Fruit or the cartoon of the School of Athens, the preparatory drawing that the great Raphael prepared to paint the famous fresco in the Vatican Rooms.
And what about Leonardo da Vinci’sPortrait of a Musician? In this virtual meeting we will offer you a full immersion among the great works of Italian art history, exploring the precious collection of Cardinal Federico Borromeo.
Digital cultural tours: the Last Supper and Leonardo da Vinci’s Vineyard
Italians are always a bit nostalgic when it comes to Leonardo da Vinci, because one of his best-known works-the Mona Lisa-is housed in the halls of the Louvre in Paris.
Take solace, however: in Milan, at the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, perhaps the greatest masterpiece of the Tuscan master, the Cenacolo Vinciano, is housed.
Also known as the Last Supper because of the evangelical subject it depicts, the painting is one of Leonardo’s most fascinating creations.There has been much debate about the work, even bordering on legend.
In any case, the painting leaves one open-mouthed by the minuteness with which every expressive detail was depicted and by the perspective of the sacred scene, which finds its fulcrum in Christ and in which we ourselves, modern visitors to the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, feel that we are participants.
In “normal” times it is quite difficult to book a visit to the Upper Room… Today you can do it virtually with our online tour!
In 65 Corso Magenta , on the other hand, the splendid Casa Atellani amazes everyone with its 1920s elegance: restored at the time by architect Pietro Portaluppi, the beautiful Milanese mansion – of 15th-century origins – is now home to a precious and secret place… We are talking about Leonardo da Vinci’s Vineyard!
The artist’s relationship with Ludovico il Moro, in fact, is certainly no mystery, and the vineyard was precisely a gift from the noble duke to the much-appreciated Leonardo, who used this lush and verdant garden to cultivate a vineyard-a truly intimate place in the heart of Milan that deserves to be revealed thanks to this virtual encounter in Casa Atellani.
