Giambattista Marino's commitment to versifying painting in the early 1600s elevated the connection between visual and literary arts, setting him apart as a significant figure.
Curator Andrea Zezza highlights Marino's importance in the early Seicento, noting that though often overshadowed by the likes of Caravaggio and Bernini, his contributions were pivotal.
Marino's 'La Galeria' served as a literary competition with visual artists, poeticizing artworks of the time and enriching the dialogue between poetry and painting.
The exhibition aims to highlight Marino’s under-recognized significance four centuries after his death, pairing his poetic works with the art that inspired them.
