If you will travel to Macao this summer, don’t forget to check out two interesting exhibitions at Macao Museum of Art. Entry is free.

Renaissance drawings

The exhibition “Italian Renaissance Drawings From the British Museum” comprises 52 drawings by 42 masters, dating from 1470 to 1580. Artists include Mantegna, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Titian, Raphael and Rosso Fiorentino, among others.

Divided into six sessions, namely “The Human Figure,” “Movement,” “Light,” “Costume and Drapery,” “The Natural World” and “Storytelling,” the exhibition explores some of the themes that characterize Renaissance art, starting from the core study of the human form, to explore how artists brought life and dynamism to their compositions through the study of movement, light and shade, and costume.

Dates: Until June 30
