An empty space in the middle offers a expansive vision of the collection which spans from the start of the XV century right up to Contemporary times.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>focus of attention in the exhibition<\/strong> revolves around <strong>tables<\/strong>, the large altarpieces divided into sections, which adorned the churches in the Fifteen and Sixteen centuries. The works of Catalan and Sardinian artists like <strong>Cavaro<\/strong> or <strong>Antioco Mainas<\/strong>, enhance the prestige of this section.<br \/>\nThere is also a rare bronze acquamanile on display. Shaped like a peacock, it was found in the area of San Salvatore a Mores (Sassari), dating back approximately to the year 1,000 and the work of Islamic craftsmen.<br \/>\nA mahogany Reliquary of the Martyr Saints of Sardinia with ebony, ivory, turtle shell inlays and brass inserts dating to around 1615-1620, completes the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>On the <strong>second floor,<\/strong> we find mainly religious works, covering the period from <strong>1600 to 1700<\/strong>. The paintings are the work of <strong>artists from Genoa, Emilia Romagna, Rome and Naples <\/strong>, who worked in different churches in the city of Cagliari.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>top floor<\/strong> houses the conference and events room. <strong>Canvases from the 1800s and 1900s<\/strong>, with examples of <strong>portraiture<\/strong> typical of the period of <strong>Verismo<\/strong> <strong>Realism<\/strong> which found confirmation in <strong>depicting agricultural work and rural landscapes, are on display here<\/strong>. The small collection is the result of donations made in wills, works commissioned by the local community to honour illustrious figures and purchases made by the State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":7306,"template":"","tipologia":[984],"categoria":[1023,1024],"tematica":[1033],"class_list":["post-25322","place","type-place","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipologia-museo-en","categoria-architectural-asset","categoria-exhibition-venue","tematica-art"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cagliari\u2019s National Picture Gallery - Idese<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/idese.cultura.gov.it\/en\/place\/cagliaris-national-picture-gallery\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cagliari\u2019s National Picture Gallery - Idese\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The National Picture Gallery is one of the exhibition sites for the Cagliari National Archaeological Museum and Institute of the Culture Ministry which acquired special autonomy status in 2019.
