Make your way through the palace’s public rooms, and admire art from the Renaissance period. Italian and international art seems all the more poignant in a gallery such as this, organized sequentially.
Then, observe early stages of painting as your guide, a local art historian, shows you how some of the master painters’ methods were adopted by later generations. Learn how Venetian trendsetters such as Bellini inspired the works of Titian, and how Raphael had a ripple-like influence across the art world.
Hear interesting stories about Caravaggio, one of the art world’s controversial characters, who is said to have killed a love rival. Within your small group, feel free to ask questions and take your tour as an opportunity to learn more about Tintoretto, Bramante and others. You’ll also see modern post-Renaissance works, which are not normally found in Italian galleries.
Leave Pinacoteca di Brera with feeling a sense of connection to one of Italy’s finest art collections. Your tour finishes after two hours inside the museum.
