The stories range from <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2024\/03\/still-missing-raphaels-self-portrait\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nazi loot<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2024\/03\/still-missing-the-secret-tunnel-heist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">secret tunnels in Paraguay<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. One of the entries concerned a nativity painting by Michelangelo da Caravaggio <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2024\/03\/still-missing-caravaggios-missing-nativity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">stolen from a chapel in Palermo in 1969<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Caravaggio created <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nativity with Saint Francis &amp; Saint Lawrence <\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">sometime in the last decade of his life. The painting shows Mary and Joseph accompanied by, anachronistically, two saints several centuries before their time, all gazing upon the baby Jesus. The figures stand out in front of pitch dark, one of Caravaggio\u2019s hallmarks. Above them, an angel carries a banner reading <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Gloria in excelsis Deo<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, or <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Glory to God in the highest<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. On October 17, 1969, two men broke into the Oratorio di San Lorenzo, the church in Palermo where the painting hung, and cut the Caravaggio from its frame. They put it on a carpet, rolled it together, and took off. In 2009, specialists valued the painting at around $20 million. Investigators now widely accept that the Sicilian mafia most likely perpetrated the theft. In 2015, the British broadcasting company Sky commissioned a replica of the Caravaggio unveiled on December 12th of that year. However, one Sicilian cultural organization, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">not satisfied with just<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> having a Caravaggio replica in the church, sponsors an initiative where contemporary artists give us their <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">own<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> take on the painting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Amici dei Musei Siciliani, or the Friends of Sicilian Museums Association, hosts an annual exhibition called <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Every Christmas since 2010, the association invites a new artist to reimagine Michelangelo\u2019s <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nativity<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. The only rule is that the new work must maintain the original painting\u2019s dimensions. According to its organizer, Bernardo Tortorici di Raffadali, the initiative\u2019s purpose is to provide the church and the city of Palermo with \u201can act of ethical compensation\u201d <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">in place<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> of the painting that has been missing for fifty-five years. Previous artists include <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/news.artnet.com\/app\/news-upload\/2022\/12\/NEXT_2021_EMILIO_ISGRO_NATIVITA-1024x576.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Emilio Isgr\u00f2<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> and <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/ilsicilia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/412848068_18170840131294531_5281705209122538548_n.jpg?x67179\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Francisco Bosoletti<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. For the fifteenth edition, the Italian <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">arte povera<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> artist Michelangelo Pistoletto gives us his <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">own<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> reinterpretation of the work called <\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.itinerarinellarte.it\/pics\/pistoletto-annunciazione-terzo-paradiso-maurizio-zambito-1.webp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Annuciazione Terza Paradiso<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Pistoletto erases everything from the original painting except the angel, replacing everything with a mirror. Pistoletto has <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galleriacontinua.com\/assets\/artists_images\/MICHELANGELO_PISTOLETTO-I_Quadri_Specchianti_2023_QSdd.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">used mirrors and other reflective surfaces in his work<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> since 1961. Instead of a banner, the angel is holding a symbol. According to Pistoletto, this is a reimagination of the infinity symbol and represents <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/artofchange21.com\/en\/the-third-paradise-by-michelangelo-pistoletto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the Third Paradise<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, a conception of harmony between the natural and artificial worlds. Pistoletto commented, \u201cThis vision invites collective responsibility, transforming conflict into a new horizon of civilization, where creation prevails over destruction.\u201d The Pistoletto <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">was unveiled<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> in the church on Christmas Eve, a fitting time given the original painting\u2019s subject.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Pistoletto\u2019s work will remain behind the church\u2019s altar <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">until January 8th<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. It will then be relocated to a different part of the church, remaining on exhibition until the anniversary of the theft on October 17, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michelangelo Pistoletto, one of the greatest living Italian artists, has unveiled a new work that pays homage to Palermo\u2019s stolen Caravaggio nativity painting.
