Exhibition Information
Sunset and sunrise in art bring a symbology of cycles of life that close and new ones that begin. Since ancient times, people used to orient themselves by the stars, and often made predictions or sought some form of guidance for daily life, seeking in some way to find the divine and the transcendent through the light of heaven. From God's walk through Eden at the turn of the day, there is something enchanting and mysterious about the beauty of the ephemeral colors of sunset and sunrise.
This beauty, which awakens a certain sense of nostalgia, has been the driving force that has inspired many artists in the history of art, and now becomes the subject of our exhibition.
