From 15 March to 15 June 2025, the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria in Perugia hosts the exhibition Fratello Sole, Sorella Luna. Nature in Art, between Beato Angelico and Corot, on the occasion of the eighth centenary of the composition of the Canticle of the Creatures by Saint Francis of Assisi.

The exhibition presents over eighty works, including paintings, drawings, engravings, sculptures and printed volumes by some of the most famous artists in the history of Italian and European art, such as Pisanello, Stefano da Verona, Paolo Uccello, Jan van Eyck, Beato Angelico, Piero della Francesca, Antonello da Messina, Leonardo da Vinci, Leon Battista Alberti, Albrecht Dürer, Lorenzo Lotto, Dosso Dossi, Giambologna, Jan Brueghel the Elder, Domenichino, Annibale Carracci, Nicolas Poussin, Salvator Rosa, Giambattista Piranesi, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and many others, whose masterpieces mark the turning points in which the figurative arts have addressed and reflected man's relationship with Nature over the centuries.

The intention is to give an in-depth and evocative account of the different nuances with which Creation has been observed by human sensitivity and reinterpreted in artistic vision.
