Review of De Mesdag Collectie

Beautiful exhibition. What an artist, that Mancini...

Beautiful exhibition. What an artist, that Mancini. You will get a good idea of his international standing and the different opinions about his works. His special working method (with wires and with small boxes) is also nicely highlighted. And that his model had to sit dead still while he ran back and forth between model and painting!
Beautiful design. Easily readable texts. Through a space built up with photo walls, you imagine yourself in the street in Rome where his studio was. It continues to a more intimate place where a number of works with glass pieces and other material can be admired.
At the end is an interesting video in which the curator in Italy speaks to a great-nephew who has also loaned work.
Compliments! The Mesdag collection has turned out great in my opinion. Thanks!
