Raamat kaasneb näitusega „Bernardo Strozzi. Meister Caravaggio varjus“ Kadrioru kunstimuuseumis (29.03.–06.07.2025). Bernardo Strozzi (1582–1644) on varabaroki silmapaistvamaid maalikunstnikke, kes tegutses Põhja-Itaalias 17. sajandi esimesel poolel. Ometi on tema kunst jäänud kauaks veelgi kuulsama kaasaegse, Caravaggio varju. Strozzi mitmekülgse loomingu laiema tähenduse avamine ja väärtustamine on alanud alles hiljuti. Näitusekataloog annab ladusa ülevaate Genovas ja Veneetsias tegutsenud vaimuliku taustaga maalikunstniku kohati põnevikku meenutavast elust ning pakub sissevaateid tema ligi poolesaja-aastasesse loomeperioodi, kunstitehnikatesse ja ateljeepraktikasse. Strozzi tuntud tööde kõrval on raamatus avaldatud ka mitmed meistriteosed, mida pole varem avalikult eksponeeritud ega publitseeritud. Raamatu kaasautor Anna Orlando on Bernardo Strozzi hinnatumaid eksperte. The book accompanies the exhibition Bernardo Strozzi: Beyond Caravaggio at the Kadriorg Art Museum (29.03.–06.07.2025). Bernardo Strozzi (1582‒1644) was a remarkable master of the early Baroque, and was active in Genoa and Venice in the first half of the 17th century. Yet, despite his extraordinary talent, he has long been overshadowed by his more famous contemporary, Caravaggio. Only in recent years has his rich and multifaceted oeuvre begun to receive the recognition it deserves. This exhibition catalogue provides a compelling overview of his eventful life and nearly half-century-long artistic journey, shedding light on his creative career, artistic techniques and studio practice. Alongside his most celebrated works, the book features several masterpieces that have never before been publicly exhibited or published. The co-author, Anna Orlando, is one of the leading authorities on Bernardo Strozzi.
