Omaggio alla Cappella Portinari.
Rinaldo Invernizzi – Tra storia dell’arte e spiritualità

Rinaldo Invernizzi presents a powerful cycle of paintings inspired by the Portinari Chapel, part of the Basilica of Sant’ Eustorgio in Milan, which combines architecture, sculpture, and painting from the early Lombard Renaissance.

Rinaldo Invernizzi created a picture cycle, conceived as a tribute to the frescoes by Vincenzo Foppa, painted between 1462 and 1468 and dedicated to the stories of the miracles of St Peter Martyr. The cycle also includes two works inspired by the famous dome of the Portinari Chapel, which has enchanted visitors of all ages and backgrounds for centuries with its iridescent colours, offering a glimpse into paradise.

The miracles performed by the Saint inspired this cultured and meditated homage by Invernizzi, who addresses the iconography and architecture of the Lombard Renaissance and the spiritual values they convey. The exhibition represents a unique opportunity to engage with the Portinari Chapel and to perceive the holy themes in a universal perspective, involving current events, from deception to idolatry, from faith to martyrdom, from compassion to care.
