Etruscan Divinity -Between the Underworld and EcstasyDSC07204.JPG

            The exhibition "Antron - Divinity Etruscan between the underworld and ecstasy" is a project sponsored by the German-Italian City of Siena, with the support of Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena.
It is sponsored by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, under the auspices of Hans-Dietrich Genscher, former German Minister for Foreign Affairs and under the auspices of the old German-Italian Villa Vigoni.

The exhibition supports the candidacy of Siena Capital of Culture 2019.
Antron is a pictorial journey into the landscape of Etruria by the German artist Michael Franke. In a way backwards towards the cultural origins of Europe, Franke stops his gaze to the archaeological Etruscan world shrouded in mystery, a mystery that explores through the power of images and reveals the heart and soul with a series of large paintings - between abstraction and figuration - whose subjects symbolically reflect the essence of Mother Earth.
 The Etruscan civilization becomes the archetype and paradigm of a new and renewed alliance between man and nature. The cycle of 77 works created specifically for this exhibition, spread in the spaces ideally underground of Salt warehouses and creates a resonance between idea and artistic genius loci: an initiatory path that symbolizes the passage from the underground, from the darkness and the underworld, towards landscapes of light imbued with ecstatic joy.
