Advent display


  • m.a.x. museum Via Dante Alighieri 6 6830 Chiasso (map)

For the fifth consecutive year, the m.a.x. museum is offering theAdvent Exhibition, an appointment of the Christmas season that is much appreciated by visitors thanks to which it is possible to admire a work on the theme that is not normally visible to the public.

The masterpiece chosen for these Festivities is Madonna and Child with Angels, by Filippino Lippi (Prato 1457 - Florence 1504) and workshop with Vincenzo Frediani, tempera grassa on panel, dating from c. 1480-1483.

The valuable work is now on display in the atrium of the m.a.x. museum and can be admired free of charge until Jan. 6, 2025.

The depiction of the Madonna and Child is an important iconographic theme in the history of art of Christian culture that experienced a particular fortune in the Italian Renaissance: many artists interpreted this scene by increasingly seeking the human and involving relationship between the mother and child, while always emphasizing the sacred symbols and metaphors referring to the life and sacrifice of Christ.
