Palazzo Bianco
Source

The Palazzo Bianco (the White Palace) is a palace in the center of the Italian city of Genoa, which, together with Via Balbi and Via Cairoli, forms Strade Nuove. The aristocratic palaces on the Strade Nuove (New Roads), including the Palazzo Bianco, are the core of the Palazzi dei Rolli. Palazzo Bianco is an important art gallery in Genoa, and with the neighboring Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Doria Tursi it forms a museum agglomerate in the old town. The art gallery offers a panorama of European paintings from the period between the 12th and 17th centuries, with a focus on Genoese, Flemish, French and Spanish artists.

    Palazzo Bianco, located in Genoa, Italy, is an impressive art gallery housed in a historic 16th-century palace. The museum showcases a notable collection of European paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, with a focus on Italian, Flemish, and Spanish masters. Visitors appreciate the well-curated exhibits featuring works by renowned artists such as Rubens, Van Dyck, and Caravaggio.

    The museum's strengths lie in its diverse collection and the historical significance of the building itself. Many visitors find the layout of the museum easy to navigate, allowing for a comfortable viewing experience. The rooms are spacious and well-lit, enhancing the appreciation of the artworks.

    However, some visitors note that the museum could benefit from more detailed information about the paintings in English. While audioguides are available, they are not always included in the ticket price, which some find disappointing. Additionally, a few reviewers mention that the museum's air conditioning can be inconsistent, affecting comfort during summer visits.

    Despite these minor drawbacks, Palazzo Bianco is generally regarded as a valuable cultural experience in Genoa. Its central location makes it easily accessible, and it's often recommended as part of a visit to the city's historic center. The museum offers a good balance of quality artworks and historical ambiance, making it a worthwhile stop for art enthusiasts and those interested in Italian cultural heritage.

    Recently,I visited the Palazzo Bianco,I was very impressed with their Netherlandish Renaissance Period Paintings.From the Renaissance Period,these Netherlandish Painters were well represented; Gerard David("Mother and Child With Milk Cup"),Hans Memling("Man of Sorrows"),Joos Van Cleve("Madonna and Christ Child"),Jan Provoost("Annunciation",Pieter Coecke Van Aelst("Adoration of Magi",Triptych),Master of Legend of Saint John The Evangelist("Saint John The Evangelist at Patmos"),Jan Massys("Charity"),and Gilles Mostaert("Crucifixion"). I also saw fine Flemish Paintings from the Baroque Period by Joachim Beukelaer("Market"),Jan Roos("Selenius",mythological subject matter),Cornelis de Wael and Jan Wildens("Landscape With Via Alberto")Peter Paul Rubens("Venus and Mars"),Anton Van Dyck,and David Teniers The Younger. Of course,I also relished their excellent collection of Old Master Baroque Period Paintings.My favorites were Francisco Zurbaran's"Saint Ursula",Caravagggio's"Ecce Homo"(awesome Chiaroscuro),Bernardo Strozzi's"Music",,Guido Reni's"Saint Sebastian",and Guisseppe Ventimiglia's"Sacrifice of Isaac". Admission to the Bianco Palazzo,also includes admission to the Rosso Palazzo across the street.
