Walton Ford: Lion of God

Walton Ford unveils a major site-specific exhibition featuring a new body of work conceived in response to the collection of the Ateneo Veneto.
“Lion of God,” curated by Udo Kittelmann, is Ford’s first solo exhibition in Italy. It features a series of monumental watercolor paintings that delve into the historical, biological, and environmental significance of the subjects found in the library’s collection. The primary focus is on the figure of the lion in Tintoretto’s “Apparizione della Vergine a San Girolamo,” which remains on public display for the duration of the exhibition.
