This display at Bozar in Brussels (26 April–21 July) explores the development of the baroque style in Florence during the 17th century. Painters such as Jacopo da Empoli and Onorio Marinari were instrumental in creating a version of the baroque that was more subdued than the high pathos and drama favoured in other European cities such as Rome and Antwerp. Many of the 40 paintings on display, which are on loan from the Haukohl Family Collection, are being shown in Belgium for the first time. Highlights include works by three generations of artists from the Dandini dynasty, including Cesare Dandini’s St Dorothy of Cappadocia (c. 17th century) and works by his younger brother Vincenzo, such as Apollo and Urania (c. 1660). Find out more on Bozar’s website.
