STEFANO NOTARMUZI “Lyrical Expressions”

Galleria della Biblioteca Via di Sant'Agostino 11, Roma, Italia

The Abruzzo painter presents a body of works from his latest repertoire devoted to the representation of his native landscape. A serene and poetic gaze on the jagged mountain peaks, on marinas caressed by the wind, enchanted and absorbed in reproducing their beauty. The painting whispers sensations, ignites the ancestral memory of the bond with nature even if the human presence is total absence, respectful from the outside of the changing landscape scenery. Along the walls of the gallery, in the sequence of paintings we find again that contemplative state, dragged by the pictorial lyricism that denotes Stefano Notarmuzi's pictorial figure. Solo painting exhibition curated by Rosa Orsini Vernissage Feb. 1, 2025 5:30 p.m. wine tasting of the Casale del Giglio winery.

The origins of the Universe between science and myth

Galleria della Biblioteca Via di Sant'Agostino 11, Roma, Italia

As long as writing has existed, man has left a testimony of his attempt to interpret the origins and structure of the Cosmos in images, searching for a trace of it reflected in the microcosm of the human body and in the three kingdoms of Nature, and projecting myths and legends into the starry sky.   This small exhibition draws on the extraordinary heritage of the Angelica Library's ancient collection, rich in over 24,000 manuscripts and 100,000 printed volumes, published between the 15th and 18th centuries, from Kunrath to Kircher, from Copernicus to Tycho Brahe and Galileo, from Luca Pacioli to Cesare Ripa. Some original editions of the books that marked the evolution of the conception of the Universe between the 16th and 18th centuries, as well as books illustrating the earlier Aristotelian and Ptolemaic image of the cosmos, belong to the library's holdings.

VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT FLORA- Solo exhibition of Klára Sedlo

Galleria della Biblioteca Via di Sant'Agostino 11, Roma, Italia

Curated by Anna Isopo with the collaboration of Martina ScavoneSaturday, May 3, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. opens at the Angelica Library Gallery the solo exhibition of Klára Sedlo, who for the first time presents in Rome the project inspired by the Voynich manuscript.Called “the most mysterious book in the world,” the Voynich manuscript is an illustrated codex dating back to the 15th century, written with a still undeciphered writing system and accompanied by images of plants that are not matched by plant elements traceable in nature. Starting precisely from such illustrations, Klára Sedlo becomes the creator of an extraordinary series of paintings in which, with scientific precision and rigor in the use of technique, the artist reproduces flowers, leaves, small shrubs and still lifes, reinterpreted in a modern key and in the light of that ascendancy that the oneiric exerts in her production. The genesis of the project is still in progress: at present the series consists of about 80 paintings, but it is destined to grow in the near future to include the nearly 150 plant illustrations popularized by the Voynich manuscript, now preserved at the Beinecke Library of Rare Books and Manuscripts at Yale University (United States), but discovered […]
