16.00 – 17.00
Palazzo Re Enzo – Sala del capitano
piazza Nettuno
The book Bizzarie di varie figure, printed in Livorno in the year of 1624, costitutes the most vital and original etchings of a deeply creative florentin artist: Giovanni Battista d’Antoni Bracelli, who operated between 1616 and 1649. A creation this one of visual strangeness, composed by funny as well as surprinsingly, variations of human form, trasfigurated and constructed in an incredible variety of objects, materials and elements animeted and inanimated. The Bizzarie, an artistical enigma without predecessors nor explanations, are proposed as remarkable forerunner of the artistic movements of the 20th century, from Surrealism to Dadaism.
