Annual theme – curated by Ursula Frohne
The film shows the unbroken attraction of the Florentine museum with the world’s most important collection of Renaissance art and the work behind the scenes as a collective endeavour, a never-ending, passionate concern to preserve centuries-old masterpieces while at the same time innovating.
The documentary, a joint project by Corinna Belz (Gerhard Richter – Painting) and Enrique Sánchez Lansch (Rhythm Is It!), skilfully switches from the big picture to the small, from the institution to one of the many people who work there, from long shots to close-ups; it captures the courting of American art patrons as well as Schmidt’s insistence on finding the right shade of green for the wall in front of which Titian’s “Venus of Urbino” is to shine – twelve layers of paint have already been applied.
