News dated
Museo Villa Bassi Rathgeb in Abano Terme has scheduled an exhibition about painter Andrea Previtali, a pupil of Giovanni Bellini, from October 17, 2026 to February 7, 2027. Italy’s heritage authority says it plans to bring together, after almost two centuries, the three panels of a triptych from the Annunziata church in Serina, near Bergamo. [1][2]
The museum dates the triptych to around 1515. The exhibition places Previtali alongside other painters and explores the practice of Renaissance workshops through physical and digital materials. The programme schedules the public opening for October 17. [2][1]
The bright side
Bringing the panels together offers a chance to see parts of a work separated for almost two centuries. [1][2]
One idea, in simple words
Museo Villa Bassi Rathgeb in Abano Terme has organised an exhibition about the painter Andrea Previtali. It is scheduled from October 17, 2026 to February 7, 2027. Previtali learned in Giovanni Bellini’s workshop. A workshop was a place where a master and collaborators worked and learned together. The exhibition plans to bring together three panels that belonged to a triptych: a work made of three parts. [1][2]
The triptych comes from the Annunziata church in Serina and, according to the museum, dates from around 1515. The heritage authority says its three panels are coming together after almost two centuries. To picture this, imagine three pieces of a jigsaw separated for a long time: that is an example, not a story about a real puzzle. The exhibition will also use materials to explain how workshops worked. [2][1]
