VINCENT PETERS. TIMELESS TIME. PALAZZO BONAPARTE

 From 16 May to 25 August 2024

The show

After the great success achieved at Palazzo Reale in Milan and Palazzo Albergati in Bologna, one of the most visited photographic exhibitions of the year arrives at Palazzo Bonaparte in Rome on May 16th: “Timeless Time” is a journey through iconic and timeless shots by photographer Vincent Peters who, until 25 August 2024, presents a selection of black and white works in which light is the protagonist in defining emotions and telling the stories of the subjects portrayed and their intimate ability to reflect beauty.

Christian Bale, Monica Bellucci, Vincent Cassel, Laetitia Casta, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, David Beckham, Scarlett Johansson, Milla Jovovich, John Malkovich, Charlize Theron, Emma Watson and Greta Ferro are just some of the famous people whose portraits are exhibited in Palazzo Albergati.

Shots taken between 2001 and 2021 by Vincent Peters who, using impeccable lighting, elevates his subjects to a position that often transcends their celebrity status.

If it is true that fashion owes part of its charm to fleetingness, to its going out of fashion, Vincent Peters tries to force this automatism by creating photographs that emerge from time. The exhibition at Palazzo Bonaparte tries to tell this red thread, the humanistic gaze of a photographer who has made our entire Western and Italian tradition his own.

Portraits of women and men, well-known characters, fragments of a story that lasts beyond the photograph, as if it were a film. Classic and modern, angelic and murky like the Madonnas and gentlemen portrayed by painters. Iconic visions, in black and white, timeless. Photographs which, like the works of art of the eternal city, do not exhaust what they have to tell us and last forever.
