A private and exclusive guided tour at the exhibition “El Greco in Italia “ in Cà dei Carraresi in Treviso,

A peculiar painter, son of blended cultures and an itinerant soul: Dominikos Theotokopoulos known as El Greco was born in Crete in 1541.
El Greco was born in Greece when his island was under Venetian dominion; while in his country, he received formal training from the masters of his time before relocating to Venice in 1567 to closely study Tintoretto’s, Titian’s and Veronese’s masterpieces.
In 1570 El Greco moved on to Rome, where he studied the great Roman masters, including Michelangelo- who, though no longer living, was still very influential in terms of style – yet not officially adored by the young Greek.
In 1577 El Greco traveled to Toledo, Spain, where he remained until his death in 1614.
El Greco’s extraordinary painting work combines all the cues and insights he acquired while traveling throughout Europe: the impressive use of color which he learned in Venice; the orderly and perspectival settings of the Roman masters and the impulse and passion of the Spaniards.
El Greco’s paintings combine tradition and innovation; although his work is firmly anchored in the teachings of the great masters, it turns to the future, stretching shapes, bodies, faces and enhancing expressions, sewing the early seeds of originality in art and painting, which was subsequently seized and developed by many future artists.
The Cà dei Carraresi exhibition includes, among others, works such as the Healing the Blind Man, Adoration of the Shepherds, Saint Francis and the Last Supper, displayed side by side with works by other great masters including Titian’s Saint John the Baptist, Parmigianino’s Saint Zachary and Paolo Veronese’s Battle of Lepanto.

Bridge of Sighs

The famous Bridge of Sighs was the only connection between the Doge's Palace and the Prisons. The prisoners had to go over this bridge to go to the venetian prisons.
The Bridge of Sighs is not a romantic Bridge! It's a sad bridge where so many people saw the last light of their life.....
