"DONI A CA' PESARO. PER LA MORTE DI OTELLO.
OMAGGIO A POMPEO MARINO MOLMENTI"

At the Ca' Pesaro, into the 10 Room, opens an exhibition dedicated to Pompeo Marino Molmenti (1819-1894); the event belongs to the willingness to tell about the generosity of the collectors and the artists who gave their works and their collections to the Musei Civici Veneziani. In this exhibition is possible to see the recent acquisitions of Ca' Pesaro, made by Venice Foundation, which gives two paintings of Molmenti. These works are two preparatory canvas to the big "La morte di Otello" "(244x430cm), of property of the Gallery of Modern Art from 1924. The first painting represents the first step, in which the artist drawings the final moment of the Skekspeare's drama; the second work is very different: there is a self-portrait of Molmenti and Otello is on the left of the scene, so this version is more similar to the after all masterpiece. At the end, at Ca' Pesaro it is possible to see nine works of this artist, as: Lo zio Ferrari, Ritratto di giovane signora, Ritratto di signora, Testa di vecchio, Testa di ragazzo and Emilia svenuta, all important masterpieces of one of the most protagonists of the Venice's painting, about 1850.
