In 2022, Les Bassins des Lumières in Bordeaux present two new immersive digital exhibitions “Venice, the Serenissima” in the long program and then “Sorolla, walks on the beach” in the short program.
« VENICE LA SERNISSIMA »
Creativ director : Gianfranco Iannuzzi.
The immersive exhibition takes you on a journey of discovery of the artistic and architectural treasures of the city of Venice.
As you explore the Grand Canal and the canals, lanes, squares, buildings, and churches, embark on a journey through Venetian interiors and exteriors—both holy and secular—in search of the visible symbols of the city’s extraordinary history.
For around forty minutes, you will be immersed in Byzantine art and the impressive golden mosaics of Saint Mark’s Basilica, the masterpieces of Tintoretto, Bellini, and Canaletto, and the famous Mostra del Cinema, with photos of theactresses and actors of Italian neorealist films.
« SOROLLA, WALK ON THE BEACH »
This exhibition immerses you into the works of Joaquín Sorolla, one of the leading Spanish painters of the twentieth century.
Painter of light, the artist depicted the beauty of the seaside, combining realism and lyricism. Discover his entire oeuvre: from his regionalist interpretations of Spain to his family portraits, landscapes, and gardens, and the representations of the seaside that made him internationally famous.
