Titolo: “Piero di Cosimo: La Poesia della pittura nella Firenze rinascimentale”.

Per citare alcuni recenti esempi, penso alla mostra del David Apollo dal Museo Nazionale del Bargello e del Galata Morente dai Musei Capitolini che hanno rispettivamente aperto e chiuso il 2013 – Anno della Cultura Italiana negli Stati Uniti, la mostra della Danae di Tiziano dal Museo di Capodimonte per celebrare il semestre di Presidenza italiana dell’UE, e alla serie innumerevole di concerti, mostre, proiezioni di film che organizziamo costantemente con questo grande museo americano”. La retrospettiva sul pittore fiorentino, contemporaneo di Botticelli, Leonardo e Michelangelo e celebre per la sua grande versatilità, comprenderà circa 40 tra i suoi più importanti dipinti, esposti in sei gallerie del West Building.
