It retraces the major themes of the Italian master\u2019s visual research and his long-standing<strong> relationship with Rome<\/strong>, where he worked consistently throughout his career, carrying out twenty professional assignments between 1985 and 2011.<\/p>\n<p>With a layout specially designed for the historic <strong>Governor\u2019s Palace in Brno<\/strong>, visitors are first introduced to studies of major examples of rationalist architecture (La Sapienza University, Termini Station), before continuing into the evocative Baroque Hall. There, the photographs are arranged by architectural and visual themes, guiding the viewer from ancient to Renaissance and 17th-century Rome, and finally to contemporary architecture\u2014where, in a surprising and unusual turn, the human figure also makes an appearance. One section of the exhibition also features the colour works produced by Basilico along the banks of the River Tiber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The exhibition \u201cGabriele Basilico.
