From chaos to cosmos

To celebrate the Cinquecentenary of Palazzo Te, the exhibition From chaos to the cosmos. Metamorphosis at Palazzo Te proposes a extraordinary route through the theme of metamorphosisinvestigated in both Renaissance and contemporary art. Edited by Claudia Cieri Via, the exhibition is developed in eight sections and relates the frescoes of Palazzo Te with a selection of masterpieces from some of the world's most important museums, including the Louvre, l'Albertina of Viennathe Prado Museum, the Borghese Gallery and the Uffizi.

The works on display include works by Giulio Romano, Tintoretto, Correggio, Jacopo Zucchi, Rubens, Nicolas Poussin and contemporary Giuseppe Penoneoffering a reflection on the transformation and the continuous becoming of form in art. Palazzo Te itself, with its decorations and architecture laden with symbolism, becomes the focus of a fascinating journey that spans the centuries and dialogues with the great art of the past and present.

Thanks to a layout that enhances the comparison between different eras, the exhibition invites visitors to discover new keys to interpretation on the frescoes of Palazzo Te and their ability to evoke dreams, myths and transformations.
