The Descent of Christ from the Cross, by Jacopo Tintoretto (Venice 1519 ca. – 1594) is the masterpiece at the heart of this exhibition, which serves as the starting point for a reflection that goes beyond art and history, becomes spiritual and provides us with the opportunity to dwell on the theme of the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ in the time of Lent and Easter, during the 2025 Jubilee of Hope.
Part of the exhibition, is the section Around Tintoretto – Four Contemporary Artists Challenged by a Masterpiece, which showcases the works of Jacopo Benassi, Luca Bertolo, Alberto Gianfreda, Maria Elisabetta Novello, who have accepted the ‘challenge’ posed by the Venetian master:  the Descent from the Cross is indeed a work of art that pierces space and time with its strength, putting us all to the test.
The large canvas was painted for the main altar of Santa Maria dell’Umiltà alle Zattere, the first Jesuit church in Venice, which was closed in 1806 and then demolished. The painting was acquired by the Gallerie dell’Accademia in 1821.
Dated around 1560-1562, during the painter’s mature period, the work perfectly combines emotional expressiveness, inventive originality, and technical and compositional skills. The well-thought-out scene is tragic and hectic at the same time – the movements are accentuated by a masterful use of light, which comes from an external source, producing strong chiaroscuro effects.
The resulting, intense emotional impact is emphasised by the exaggerated poses and expressions of the protagonists, who emerge from a dimly lit background.

Duomo di Milano
The Milan Cathedral is a must-see when visiting Milan. It is the main cathedral of Milan and one of the five largest cathedrals in the world. It is really spectacular. The Virgin Mary on the top of the tower is dazzling in the sun, magical and beautiful.

Best Things to Do

Show闲队长

The Milan Cathedral is so shocking! The Gothic minarets are directly inserted into the clouds, and the exterior walls are beautifully carved like lace. The panoramic view is superb, and the interior color windows are beautiful. There are many people in line but it is worth it. Remember to buy tickets in advance. The only downside is that the vendors outside are a bit annoying, but it is definitely a must-check in Milan!

Cathedral Square

Milan Cathedral Square is the heart of the city, the Gothic church is spectacular and shocking, and the details are exquisite like artwork! The surrounding area is very lively and suitable for taking pictures, but the tourists are slightly crowded. Pigeons are not afraid of people and add a little fun. The subway is super convenient, but be careful to peddle hawkers. The overall atmosphere is great, free and open, must visit Milan!

This is my 3rd time in Milan and the previous times I failed to get tickets through the official website. This time I booked through Trip.com and everything went smoothly. It&#39;s slightly more expensive but worth it to see the masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci.

I can&#39;t grab the official website of my card point. I placed an order with the mentality of giving it a try. The picture guide is clear. I activate the QR code at the ticket office. When I arrive at the time, I scan the code directly to enter. It is very good.
