Conegliano a northern Italian town is still paying tribute to its Renaissance painter Giovanni Battista Cima (1459/1460 – 1517/1518), with a great exhibition charting his life, work and artistic innovations: more than 71.000 visitors have already appreciated it.
This exhibition “Cima da Conegliano. Poet of the Landscape” is the result of two years’ work, involving restoration and research, and is part of an ongoing scientific project to investigate Cima’s techniques in more detail. For this reason a lot of the latest findings are explained in detail at the show, with a particular focus on the pigments and binding agents for which he is known. Cima is credited with creating several new colours in his day, among which a vibrant shade of orange that appears in many of his altarpieces.
“Cima, who was born in Conegliano in around 1460, remained hugely popular until the late 1800s, when his reputation was gradually eclipsed by contemporaries such as Giorgione, but without Cima, there would have been no Giorgione at all” explained curator Giovanni Carlo Federico Villa “Cima lived a quiet and unassuming life, which held little appeal for Romantic 19th-century sensibilities. But Conegliano is now keen to restore Cima’s work to its rightful place, at a critical turning point in the development of Italian and Veneto art history”
The exhibition explores Cima’s role as the missing link between Antonello da Messina and Giovanni Bellini, helping pave the way for Giorgione.

The Conegliano native was among the first artists to move his work away from idealized settings and instead paint from real life, recreating the hills and countryside around his home in painstakingly accurate detail. The show then moves on to consider his artistic career in chronological order. Each section focuses on a different period in Cima’s life, including a key altarpiece from that era. Among these are his famous “Enthroned Madonna With Child And Saints James And Jerome” from the Vicenza Civic Pinacoteca, “Rest On The Flight Into Egypt With John The Baptist And St Lucia” from the Fundacao Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon and his fantastic “Madonna With Child And The Archangel Michael And St Andrew” from the Parma National Gallery.
