Voor de vierde keer word ik gehonoreerd met de internationale prijs International Leonardo da Vinci Prize, zo stond te lezen in de e-mail die ik vanmiddag ontving van de Effetto Arte Foundation.
Van deze organisatie, de Effetto Arte Foundation, heb ik inmiddels al een flink aantal internationale prijzen mogen ontvangen, waaronder dus nu voor de vierde keer de Leonardo da Vinci prijs.
De prijs kreeg ik ook al uitgeloofd in 2018, 2020 en in 2022.
Zoals op de website van de stichting valt te lezen:
We love to call ourselves art lovers.
A passion that for over a decade has spurred us to publish, study, review and exhibit without respite.
From the Eiffel Tower to the MEAM in Barcelona, from the Palaexpo in Verona to the New York fair, our organization guarantees high planning standards. Our installations, with attention to the smallest details, stood out both for the exclusivity of the locations (museums, historic buildings, theaters) and for the high number of visitors.
We love to accompany the visitor on a global artistic experience, which also includes listening to good music at our events. Artists such as Edoardo Bennato, Katia Ricciarelli, Morgan, Dolcenera, Danilo Rea, Alba Parietti, Moni Ovada, Mattew Lee, Piero Chiambretti, Red Ronnie, Philippe Daverio, Edoardo Sylos Labini, Luca Beatrice, Angelo Crespi and Vittorio Sgarbi attended our events, and the list goes on.
Dit jaar vindt de happening plaats in Milaan, zo valt te lezen in de e-mail die ik ontving:
Dear Tjeerd,
I am very proud to award you with the International Prize Leonardo da Vinci.
The Prize is for the Artists that are worth for their artistic merit.
You will be awarded on April 05th, 2023 at the National Museum of Science and Technology “Leonardo da Vinci” – Milan, to the presence of collectors, journalists, politicians and art lovers.
If the artist will not be present at the awards ceremony, the prize will be sent home.
It is one of the most prestigious art awards awarded in the heart of Milan.
Also on “CONTEMPORARY CELEBRITY MASTERS” Vol. II you will find an article on the history and life of Leonardo da Vinci together with the artworks of the Artists participating in the Prize.
The National Museum of Science and Technology “Leonardo da Vinci” is based in Milan; opened in 1953, with its total 50,000m² it is the largest technical-scientific museum in Italy and one of the largest in Europe.
It has the largest collection in the world of machine models made from drawings by Leonardo da Vinci.
It is visited by over 500,000 people a year.
The collections count 16,000 historical assets and include representative evidence of the history of Italian science, technology and industry from the 19th century to the present day.
In its 14 interactive workshops activities are carried out that follow the educational method based on informal education. The museum collaborates with the main European and world science museums and since 2003 is a member of ECSITE (European Collaborative for Science, Industry and Technology Exhibitions).
For the occasion will be selected, by Salvatore and Francesco Saverio Russo, some of the best international and contemporary artists.
The award is a right symbol for an important artistic career.
You will be eligible for:
– A page into the art book CONTEMPORARY Celebrity Masters Vol. II in the section dedicated to the “International Prize Leonardo da Vinci”.
– A page into the official catalog of the event “International Prize Leonardo da Vinci”

De deadline voor insturen van een foto is 23 februari 2023.
Het is even lastig in te schatten of ik hier aan mee zal doen en bovenal of er wel een geschikte foto voor deze prijs is.
Meer info volgt wellicht op een later moment.
