Behind a Portrait

Boasting a remarkable private collection focused on portraiture, the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo holds over 600 works by masters such as Raffaello, Mantegna, Bellini, and Botticelli. Closed in 2008 for restoration, its reopening inspired acclaimed director Davide Ferrario to capture the process and reflect on the very act of looking, with insights from Desmond Morris and Giovanni Romano.
