Escher
March 23 - July 21, 2024 - Ferrara, Palazzo dei Diamanti
From March 23 to July 21, 2024, the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara will be the stage for the works of Escher, a brilliant and visionary artist, always celebrated by mathematicians and recently rediscovered by the general public.
Born in 1898 in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, Maurits Cornelis Escher has captivated the hearts of millions of visitors with his extraordinary ability to transport them into imaginative and seemingly impossible worlds.
The creations of the Dutch master, who lived in Italy between the two World Wars, are a fusion of themes and inspirations: from geometric theorems to mathematical insights, from philosophical reflections to logical paradoxes.
His unmistakable works, which have influenced design and advertising, pose a challenge to perception and constitute a unique phenomenon in the history of art. This extraordinary exhibition will provide an unprecedented opportunity to delve into Escher's creative universe.

Mirabilia Estensi
23 marzo - 21 luglio 2024 - Ferrara, Palazzo dei Diamanti
In North-Central Italy between the 14th and 15th centuries, objects made of bone, horn, and inlaid wood, including pastiglia decorated caskets, became widespread as emblems of the Renaissance craftsmanship in Ferrara under Borso d'Este. These artifacts, often created to celebrate wedding unions, were crafted using sophisticated techniques and involved masters like Cosmè Tura. Characterized by "pastiglia" decorations, a mixture of plaster, glue, and marble powder, these caskets contained precious items and symbolized the passion for antiquity that animated the courts of the time. Becoming part of the Wunderkammer, collections aimed at amazing with a variety of rare objects, these caskets reflected the Renaissance's broad interest in arts, sciences, and collecting, attempting to encapsulate the world in a single room.

July 5 - December 26, 2024 - Castello Estense
From Wednesday, July 5 to Thursday, December 26, 2024, the South Wing and the Camerini of Castello Estense will host two solo exhibitions dedicated to two Ferrara artists: Antonio Maria Nardi and Maurizio Bottoni.
Maurizio Bottoni is renowned for his hyperrealistic portraits and naturalistic compositions, ranging from serene mountain landscapes to detailed depictions of trees and grasses, reflecting the high tradition of modern figurative-naturalistic painting.
Antonio Maria Nardi, a prolific artist from the first half of the 20th century, is an eclectic figure known as a painter, illustrator, and sculptor. His works combine a narrative language rich in pathos with naturalism and the essential geometries of Brazilian modernism.

Ferrara Arte - The Foundation
In Ferrara, important art events mean Ferrara Arte, a foundation established with the aim of holding international exhibitions in the splendid setting of the Palazzo dei Diamanti in collaboration with the Art Museums Service of the Municipality of Ferrara.
The foundation's first initiative dates back to 1991-92 when, together with the Musée Marmottan, an anthological exhibition of Giovanni Boldini was organised in Paris, followed in Ferrara by the exhibition 'Claude Monet and his friends'.
Over the years, Ferrara Arte has forged a valuable network of connections and collaborations with the world's greatest museums - from the Metropolitan in New York to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, from the Museo del Prado to the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, from the Tate in London to the Bozar in Brussels and the Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart - making the Palazzo dei Diamanti one of the best known and most respected excellences abroad.
Alongside the exhibitions organised at the historic building located in the so-called Quadrivio degli Angeli, Ferrara Arte has distinguished itself for initiatives aimed at enhancing the historical, cultural and artistic heritage of the city and its province, and in recent years has employed its professionalism to design and realise exhibition projects in different city spaces, including the Castello Estense, Palazzina Marfisa d'Este, Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea and Palazzo Bonacossi.
