Скачать или смотреть Lighting project for Guercino Exhibition in Piacenza, 2017

In 2017, Piacenza paid homage to Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, best known as Guercino, by organising a spectacular event that involved the Cathedral of Piacenza and the Farnese Palace. A unique journey through the sacred and the profane. Davide Groppi was contacted by the organisers of the event to illuminate the works of the 17th Century master using the latest in state-of-the-art technology. The works of art by Guercino on exhibit include 20 masterpieces located in the Ducal Chapel of the Farnese Palace, but overall the frescos on the dome of Piacenza’s Cathedral. “I’ve always thought that lighting artwork is a sort of falsification. So, what I tried to do with the dome of the Cathedral was to use light with sensitivity and naturalness, considering the light as the last touch of colour from Guercino’s palette. The light in Palazzo Farnese’s exhibition has been thought according to a very simple principle that is to put light exactly where Guercino planned it to be during the execution”. Davide Groppi
