Pinacoteca (Picture-Gallery)

The Pinacoteca collection covers a relatively ample chronological time range from the mid- 15th century to the mid-19th century and documents this region’s artistic events with particular attention to the local artists and those from the Veneto and Lombardy who were working here. Of note among the 15th century paintings, are the Madonna and Child done by one of Stefano da Verona’s disciples, and that of the Venetian, Tommaso Bragadin. The 16th century is represented by a large number of important artists from the Trentino, such as Marcello Fogolino (altar piece with the Mystic Wedding of S. Catherine and The Donors Andrea Borgo and Dorotea Thun), Altobello Melone (Simonino), Girolamo Romanino (Madonna and Child and Saints; Visitation, a fragmentary piece of the organ doors from the church of Santa Maria Maggiore), Jacob Seisenegger (The Daughters of King Ferdinand I of Hapsburg) Giovanni Battista Moroni (Annunciation), Paolo Farinati (an altar-piece commissioned by the Madruzzo family). The 17th century includes works by Pietro Ricchi, Alessandro Turchi, Francesco Maffei, Pietro Liberi, Carl Loth, Andrea Pozzo, and of the Flemish painter Giuseppe Alberti. Among the paintings that stand out from the 18th century are those of the so-called “Fiemme School” among which the works by Michelangelo and Cristoforo Unterperger, and by Francesco Fontebasso and Giambettino Cignaroli. There is also a very important selection of paintings by Giovanni Battista Lampi the Elder (1751-1830), one of the more important portraitists of the neoclassical age.
