Specialist Notes
" The & nbsp; Via Crucis & nbsp; of the Vatican Museums, painted between 1901-1902 released by a specific client, it was conceived after the dramatic but still “traditional” & nbsp; Via Crucis & nbsp; for the cemetery of the Lombard municipality of Castano Primo, frescoed in 1888, after six years of creative gestation. The Vatican series received as a gift from the industrialist Fabio Ponti during the formation of the Collection of Modern Religious Art commissioned by Paul VI and inaugurated in 1973, represents one of the most significant results of this journey , fully revealing itself also through the recent implementation of the original layout, wanted by Previati and his gallery owner since the first public appearance of the work, in 1902, to the first & nbsp; Quadriennale & nbsp; of Turin."
