I am loving the works of Piero Della Francesca. This was very special. The Resurrection has just been restored. An interesting film is shown explaining this. A worthwhile visit. Went back to this place with enthusiasm.
Restoration complete and now taking pride of place in this small museum. All Piero della Francesca fans have to come to see - spectacular!!
I caught the last days of the Steve McCurry exhibition which was presented superbly by this small museum. If in the town check out if they are having any exhibitions because they present them so well
Small museum that was exhibiting the world of Steve McCurry which were shocking and inspiring as well as the work of Piero Della Francesca. Art of the highest quality
We’re on a Piero della Francesca roll right now, so we went to the Museo Civico in Sansepolcro to see more of his paintings, including the stunningly beautiful Resurrection. This painting alone is worth the drive up from Arezzo. It’s being restored at the moment but you can still view it (though this involves sitting on the ground to view the main figure through the window). From Sansepolcro it’s a short drive to see Piero’s Madonna del Parto - the pregnant Madonna - in Monterchi. For Piero “fans”, there’s also the Maddalena in the Arezzo Cathedral. And the frescoes in San Francesco, of course. Otherwise the Museo Civico is not so exciting.
This museum is a must for lovers of the works of Piero della Francesca and so is hus house in the dame street and the pregnant Madonna in Monterchi.
Unfortunately, as many other state musea in Italy, the display, upkeep, information is not first rate. Moreover, the Resurezzione is under repair till mid 2018.
There is a special exhibition of della Francesca and Luca Pacioli, famous mathematician and inventor of double bookkeeping.
