I’ve already been in Borghese Gallery to visit some art exhibitions and the great works of Bernini and Canova. I am always curious to see how the works exposed in the museum, which are part of the Scipione’s collection, are related to those of the exhibition. This is the main reason that pushed me to go to see this new exhibition about Caravaggio and Bacon.
This exhibition proposes a juxtaposition of Bacon and Caravaggio. It intends to offer visitors an opportunity for an aesthetic experience rather than an educational one, because this is not an exhibition of history: neither history of forms nor history of individuals in their time, that is, art history. It does not intend to study the two artists philologically in order to conjecture that Caravaggio had some kind of influence on Bacon.
