Valentin de Boulogne: Allegory of Italy
Sinebrychoff Art Museum, Helsinki
- 6.9.2023–12.1.2025
The monumental painting Allegory of Italy (1628–29) by Valentin de Boulogne (1591–1632) will be deposited at the Sinebrychoff Art Museum during the renovation of the Villa Lante, the Finnish Institute in Rome.
Valentin is one of Caravaggio’s (1571–1610) closest followers. The mini-exhibition will present to the public the unique historical context of the painting.
Allegory of Italy (oil on canvas, 333 x 245 cm) represents the pinnacle of Valentin’s work. It is a representative example from the golden age of Roman Baroque painting. Researchers consider the large-scale painting to be the artist’s main work, along with an altarpiece in the Vatican’s collections. Finnish art collections do not include any similar work from the Italian Baroque period.
