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.

I think it&rsquo;s completely worth it, all the art and history that goes through the walls of the cathedral, also the steps you put in while going up the hundred stairs, gorgeous views and experience. Please note that they are currently under renovation so a few parts aren&rsquo;t available to the public

Leonardo's Last Supper Museum

Tingtating

You only had 15 mins in the museum and you have to arrive 15 mins before to verify your tickets with passport. If you are really interested then I think it&rsquo;s worth the trip.

Get there early. There&rsquo;s a lovely place across the street where you can grab a coffee or gelato and a washroom visit. I had no idea that I would be so moved by seeing Leonardo&rsquo;s painting of The Last Supper. It moved me to tears. I am so grateful that the efforts were put into preserving and protecting this treasure. Nice book store as you exit. Grateful for UNESCO World Heritage Sites as well.

Milan Cathedral Square is the heart of the city. The Gothic cathedral is spectacular and the details are as exquisite as works of art! The surrounding area is very lively and suitable for taking photos and checking in, but it is a bit crowded with many tourists. The pigeons are not afraid of people, which adds a bit of fun. It is very convenient to go directly to the subway, but be careful of hawkers. The overall atmosphere is great, free and open, a must-see when you come to Milan!
