The Unfinished: Poetics and Technique

About

Paintings left unfinished by Palma il Vecchio, Guido Reni and Garofalo are examined with infrared reflectography and spectroscopy, revealing the changes and techniques invisible to the eye and the artistic idea of the non finito. In the Pinacoteca of the Capitoline Museums, Piazza del Campidoglio 1, extended to 4 January 2027; daily 9:30 AM–7:30 PM (24 and 31 December until 2 PM; closed 25 December), last entry an hour before closing. Included in the Capitoline Museums ticket; the venue doesn't publish a price on this listing.

New to painting?

Painting and drawing classes run from relaxed one-night sessions that guide you to a finished canvas to multi-week courses in watercolour, oils, figure drawing or illustration.

  • Guided one-night classes suit groups and first-timers; courses suit people who want to improve.
  • Figure-drawing sessions use a live model and are usually for adults only.
  • Materials are usually included in one-off classes; courses often send a supply list.

Taking it home: The same day, though acrylic and oil may need a few hours to dry before they travel well.
