“I remember that I loved digging and finding objects in Sicily. If painting is analytical and imposes an expansion of time, sculpture is instinct embodied in the work,” Fodale Palladino says. “For me, painting is the height of the expression of feelings and the state of the soul.”

Verrocchio, the Sculptor, the Painter and the Master of Leonardo

In spite of Vasari’s admiration and Verrocchio’s importance as a teacher, up-to-now there has never been an exhibition devoted to him. The event in the Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo Bargello aims to bring valuable insight into the early influence of Florence and of Verrocchio and his workshop on Leonardo’s oeuvre (seven on display here). The National Gallery in Washington D.C. will host a smaller, especially curated version, of the show from 29 September 2019 to 2 February 2020.
