Botticelli. Il suo tempo. Il nostro tempo
The exhibition "Botticelli. Il suo tempo. E il nostro tempo" at the Mart Museum in Rovereto, curated by Alessandro Cecchi and Denis Isaia, creates a dialogue between the paintings of the great Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli and contemporary works inspired by him. The concept of the exhibition finds its visual translation in the development of a coordinated image that takes its cue from historical materials and reworks them by updating them. The Palatine Renaissance font, initially chosen by the curators, was therefore redesigned, lightened and adapted to a display character so as to be applied to the wall for section texts, introductory texts and printed on the painted wooden supports proposed for the captions. The texts and the chrono-biography are accompanied by a series of eleven illustrations inspired by the typical features of the woodcuts found in Renaissance editions.

Botticelli. Il suo tempo. Il nostro tempo
Botticelli. Il suo tempo. E il nostro tempo exhibition was born with the attempt of linking paintings by the great artist Sandro Botticelli and contemporary works closely inspired by him.
The concept of the exhibition finds his visual translation through a new language that combines a re-elaboration of selected subjects from Botticelli’s paintings in new illustrations and the re-design of Palatino typeface as an historic reference. The original source has been lightened and adapted to a display font to apply on wall for section texts, intro texts and captions of the displayed artworks in Mart Rovereto.
