Caravaggio und seine Zeit - zwischen Naturalismus und Klassi

Wunderbar, elegant und sehr interessant!!!

Many pieces are not actually paintings but prints (mostly badly scaled up). The lighting is badly done, the texts are crammed with information, seemingly unaware or uncaring who it's readers are and in what context it's being read. The audio of the docu movie that is being played in the middle of one hall is audible in most of the exhibtion's rooms and makes it hard to concentrate on the already difficult to read texts. The whole exhibition is a mess.

Absolutely fantastic. I have never encountered an exhibition featuring Caravaggio masterpieces in Switzerland before! The atmosphere starts off quite dark, but as you progress through the rooms, it immerses you firsthand into each painting in 'chiaroscuro,' bringing the showcased works to the forefront. Highly recommended!
