One of 2018’s great exhibitions was Magister Canova, June-November, at Scuola Grande della Misercicordia, Sestre Cannaregio Venice. In effect, a technical, 21st century presentation of an 18th century master.

The intimacy of the supersized multi-media presentation illustrates perfection in its finest detail, telling the sensual stories of its neo-classical subjects along the way, from Cupid, via Pshyhe, and on to Hercules and more. Well worth the trek through the back streets of Venice.
