Art exhibition: La beffa. Canova e Giorgione. History of a self-portrait

From 2 December 2022 to 10 April 2023, the Museo Casa di Giorgione in Castelfranco Veneto will dedicate an exhibition to an unusual work by Antonio Canova: Giorgione's Self-Portrait, the result of a hoax that the great sculptor (who was also a painter) conceived together with his patron Abbondio Rezzonico, a Roman senator.
Entitled La beffa. Canova and Giorgione. History of a self-portrait and curated by Matteo Melchiorre, the exhibition is intended to be a significant meeting point between the research and study conducted by the Museo Casa Giorgione in Castelfranco Veneto and the celebrations that, in 2022, will see the Museo Gypsoteca Antonio Canova in Possagno celebrating the 200th anniversary of the sculptor's death.
