Description:
This exhibition is a golden bridge between East and West. "L’oro dipinto" tells the story of the artistic connection between Crete and Venice through a selection of works that blend Byzantine iconography with Venetian Renaissance painting.

The exhibition offers a fresh perspective on a time of intense cultural exchange, where art became a shared language across worlds.
