Rome Dispatch: Flowers. Art from the Renaissance to Artificial Intelligence

Flowers speak a universal language transcending culture. February 14   2025 / August 18, 2026 “FLOWERS”: THE CHIOSTRO DEL BRAMANTE  CELEBRATES FLOWERS WITH THE GREATEST EXHIBITION IN ITALY DEDICATED TO THEIR BEAUTY AND POWER.

“Flowers. Art from the Renaissance to Artificial Intelligence” presents a journey where the endlessly evocative power of flowers emerges. The show brings together art, science, and technology creating a universal narrative that spans the centuries: from the masterpieces of Jan Brueghel to Ai Weiwei and latest experimentation with digital technologies in contemporary art.

Fragile and powerful, flowers speak a universal language that transcends centuries and cultures. They narrate emotions, celebrate beauty, silently protest, and preserve age-old tales. It is precisely to them that the Chiostro del Bramante in Rome has dedicated this extraordinary exhibition.

 Curated by Franziska Stöhr and Roger Diederen, in collaboration with Suzanne Landau, the exhibition offers a journey through five centuries of art, culture, and innovation.

The exhibition displays over 90 artworks, coming from 10 different countries around the world: the Chiostro del Bramante has collaborated with prestigious institutions such as the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Petit Palais, and Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, alongside the botanical and scientific collections of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in London and the Museo Civico di Zoologia in Rome. Notable lenders include the Galleria Borghese, the Biblioteca Casanatense, the Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe, and The Israel Museum, Jerusalem.

The Chiostro del Bramante, with its exceptional 16th-century atmosphere, provides the ideal setting for an experience that combines art, nature, and technology. Is one of the most captivating exhibitions of 2025, a journey between beauty and power.
