Many visit museums searching for solace and enrichment. But the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan attempts to expand its therapeutic reach by taking some of its iconic masterpieces into a local research hospital. Details from works at Brera by artists from Francesco Hayez to Raphael have been blown up in high-definition and pasted onto walls in the corridors and waiting rooms of the Humanitas hospital in Ronzano, in the metropolitan area of Milan.
The project’s organisers claim the partnership will improve the well-being of patients. The Pinacoteca di Brera boasts one of the world’s finest collections of Italian painting, with a special emphasis on Venetian and Lombard artists. For the “Brera in Humanitas” project, curators have selected details from 15 of the museum's works and expanded them to a ratio of 1:36.
