Galleria dell’Accademia Carrara, Bergamo
-
We can thank Napoleon’s penchant for looting the art of his conquered territories for the existence of the Carrara, named after the count who, in 1795, stewarded the emperor’s collection. Pillaged from across Northern Italy, in its ranks are works by Botticelli, Raphael, Bellini, Mantegna, Canaletto, Carpaccio, Guardi and Tiepolo. Above all, though, come to admire the emotion-filled Renaissance paintings of Lorenzo Lotto, a Venetian painter who settled in Bergamo in 1513.
