This art gallery is one of the important collections of Italian painting and a representative painting museum in Milan, mainly collecting paintings from the Lombard and Venetian schools from the 15th to 18th centuries
The Brera Art Gallery was founded by Napoleon I in 1809
Initially, it exhibited some famous paintings from the collection of the Accademia di Brera, and later the exhibits were gradually increased, mainly focusing on the painting works of the Renaissance era, with some works from Dutch painters as well
The gallery is located in the Brera Palace, which was built in the second half of the 15th century and was later transformed into an academy of fine arts in the late 18th century, becoming a gallery for students to observe the masterpieces of the masters
The collection includes many classic works by masters, such as Raphael’s ‘The Marriage of the Virgin’, Mantegna’s ‘Lamentation over the Dead Christ’, Piero della Francesca’s ‘Montefeltro Altarpiece’, and Hayez’s ‘The Kiss’, all of which are housed here
