Pinacoteca Querini Stampalia
- Pinacoteca Querini Stampalia
The Pinacoteca Querini Stampalia is an art collection and museum in Venice, Italy. Situated in the sestieri of Castello, on the left bank of the Grand Canal, it includes famous paintings as a "self- portrait" and "Adam and Eve" by Palma the Younger, a "Sacra Conversazione" by Palma the Elder and a "Madonna and Child" by Bernardo Strozzi. It also holds prized drawings by Giovanni Bellini, Raphael, Paolo Veronese, Titian, and Tintoretto.
The picture gallery is displayed within twenty rooms on the second floor of the palace which also contains furniture, porcelains and musical instruments, along with works by artists ranging from the 14th-18th century.
This building has an interesting history. The Palazzo was renovated from its original state before the sixties. From 1961-1963, Carlo Scarpa restored parts of the building, while changing others. Carlo 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. 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.
