Pinacoteca Querini Stampalia, Venice, Italy
The Pinacoteca Querini Stampalia is an art collection and museum located in the Palazzo Querini Stampalia on the left bank of the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. The picture gallery is displayed within twenty rooms on the second floor of the palace which also contains furniture, a large public library, porcelains and musical instruments, along with works by artists ranging from the 14th-18th century.
The Pinacoteca Querini Stampalia is known for its famous paintings such as Adam and Eve and a self-portrait by Palma Giovane, a Sacra Conversazione by Palma Vecchio, and a Madonna and Child by Bernardo Strozzi. It also holds prized drawings by Giovanni Bellini, Raphael, Paolo Veronese, Titian, and Tintoretto.
The Pinacoteca Querini Stampalia was established in 1869 at the behest of Conte Giovanni Querini (Count John Querini), the last descendant of the Venetian Querini Stampalia family. The palace was renovated from its original state before the 1960s. From 1961-1963, Carlo Scarpa restored parts of the building, while changing others. Scarpa created a series of islands, and allowed the water to come into the lobby space. He also restored the idea of a courtyard garden behind the building, with an abstracted rill fountain. Later additions (1993-2003) are by Mario Botta. The palace also houses the Fondazione Querini Stampalia, which sponsors a prominent library and contemporary art expositions.
