Vittore Carpaccio (c. 1460/65-1525/26) is one of the most important painters of the early Renaissance in Venice. He staged his colorful and detailed pictorial narratives against the picturesque backdrop of the lagoon city or the exotic landscapes of the Middle East. His works are populated by vividly characterized figures. Around 1500, he was one of the busiest painters in Venice and competed with today's far more famous masters such as Giovanni Bellini (around 1435-1516). So how did Carpaccio manage to maintain his unique position as a chronicler of Venetian life?
Based on this question, the Staatsgalerie is dedicating an exhibition to Carpaccio for the first time in Germany and juxtaposing some of his most important paintings with selected works by Giovanni Bellini. The presentation is complemented by works by other artists active in Venice between 1465 and 1525, including Gentile Bellini and Lorenzo Lotto.

Mit rund 50 Gemälden und Arbeiten auf Papier, darunter herausragende Leihgaben aus Venedig, Florenz, Madrid und Washington, führt die Ausstellung vor Augen, wie sich Carpaccio durch seine höchst originelle Malweise als einer der erfolgreichsten Künstler der Frührenaissance in Venedig positioniert.
Die Ausstellung steht unter der Schirmherrschaft der Botschaft der Italienischen Republik in Deutschland.
