The Davanzo Picture Gallery, hosted on the second floor of the Unfer Palace, traces the fundamental points of the artistic production of the painter Marco Tiziano Davanzo. A visit to the Picture Gallery allows one to expand and go more into depth with the historical-critical reading of “landscape” painting in the Veneto-Friuli area between 1800 and 1900.

The gallery presents the artist by following the most significant moments of his life, particularly those that have influenced his style, determining specific artistic and thematic choices.

Marco Davanzo demonstrated a personal sensitivity to portrait painting from his first painting experiences. At fifteen years of age, he painted his paternal grandfather Giuseppe Davanzo in an image heavy with physionomic characterisation with marked Veristic accents.
