Beauty and ugliness have always fascinated people, yet their meanings shift over time. Bellezza e Bruttezza explores how artists from Italy and Northern Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries depicted these extremes, from refined ideals to deliberate grotesques. A rare opportunity to see extraordinary works, by renowned artists such as Botticelli, Titian, Tintoretto, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Cranach the Elder, Massys, and many others. And also three of my scent bottles attributed to the 16th century!

My collection
I started my collection of scent bottles more than forty years ago. Made of different materials over a long period from antiquity to 1940, they now comprise a collection of over 1200 pieces produced mostly in Europe, but not only. All containers are no taller than 9 cm (3 inches).
