Palladian wing exhibition route

The exhibition route of the Palladian wing, set up on the main floor, showcases works from the 16th and 17th centuries that could realistically have been found in the context of a noble palace of the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

In the first room, three portraits of warriors stand out, including the famous Ippolito Porto by Giovanni Antonio Fasolo, where the commander—renowned for his exploits at Mühlberg and Lepanto—is portrayed in all his pride. Next, in the room frescoed by Domenico Brusasorzi (Room of Civic Virtues), are the portraits of the Gualdo and Valmarana families by Giovanni Antonio Fasolo, as well as the intense portrait of Maddalena Campiglia by Alessandro Maganza.
In the following room, frescoed by Battista del Moro (Room of the Trajan Column), the nobles' passion for antiquity is celebrated through their collections of Roman coins, Renaissance plaquettes, two important classical-style busts by Alessandro Vittoria, and the famous rock crystals by Valerio Belli.

Entering the grand hall marks the transition to the 17th century: the paintings, arranged in two tiers, reflect the display style of the time. On the walls are famous mythological scenes by Luca Giordano, Giulio Carpioni, and Antonio Bellucci.

Additionally, this audio tour includes 16th- and 17th-century works belonging to the Civic Museum of Palazzo Chiericati, such as The Sacrifice of Isaac by Giuseppe Vermiglio, Herodias with the Head of the Baptist by Francesco Cairo, and the famous painting The Four Ages of Man by Antoon Van Dyck. Still lifes and landscapes are represented by Perspective of Ruins with Figures by Sebastiano and Marco Ricci, and Landscape with Fishing Nymphs by Paolo Fiammingo.
