Virtual Exhibition
From real life into
the world of art
Encounters between visual and performing arts in festival culture in Europe in the 16th to 18th centuries
From real life into the world of art is a virtual exhibition, offering an experience midway between an academic publication and an interactive presentation. The result of an international research project, it aims to analyse relationships between visual and performing arts in the European context of the 16th to 18th centuries.
Through an innovative combination of audio-visual media, the exhibition presents 15 narratives relating to historical festivals, entries, operas, ballets and artworks of particular significance within the history of art and the performing arts. By making the content accessible online and giving visitors a choice of routes through it, the exhibition addresses both the academic community and the wider public.

In the Early Modern period, theatrical and festive occasions played a fundamental role in European artistic activity. They brought together artists from different disciplines and backgrounds, generating processes of hybridization between the visual and the performing arts. Such occasions marked
«the point of transition
from real life into the world of art».
