Italian Paintings on Show in Shanghai

An exhibition of 51 Italian paintings from the collections of the Bellini Museum opened to the public in Shanghai on Sunday.

On show are masterpieces by such well-known Italian artists as Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti and Tiziano Vecellio.

Among the most eye-catching is Michelangelo Buonarroti's Taking Jesus Down from the Cross, a painted wooden carving bas relief.

The Bellini Museum is a private museum based in Florence, Italy.

The one-month show in Shanghai Art Gallery is one of a series of cultural exchanges to be staged between China and Italy in 2006.
