What to see in January – The Devil of The Brush

Mdina has plenty to offer. In the colder months of January and February, tuck in at Palazzo Falson for the  first in a new series of exhibitions that moves away from the examination of objects for their type and function, and explores concepts and their manifestation in art.  The exhibition ‘The Devil of the Brush’ opened to the public on 16th December 2017 and runs till 25th February 2018.

The exhibition celebrates speed and virtuosity and explores the exciting dynamics between artistic invention and technical brilliance through paintings, statuary, drawings, modelli and bozzetti executed by the major protagonists of Maltese Art between 1650 and 2000.
