At the intersection of ancient Roman architecture and contemporary sculpture, Tony Cragg: Infinite and Beautiful Forms offers a rare cultural experience for travelers seeking art beyond the ordinary.
Hosted at the Museo Nazionale Romano – Baths of Diocletian, this exhibition is a compelling stop for those exploring Rome through an artistic lens.
Sculptures Inspired by Nature’s Complexity
Tony Cragg’s works speak a language of forms rooted in biology, geology, and organic matter. Each of the 18 sculptures — crafted from bronze, wood, travertine, steel, or fiberglass — draws from the natural world’s patterns, evoking everything from sea waves to plant cells.
The exhibition’s title is inspired by Charles Darwin’s reflections on evolution, echoing the artist’s fascination with the architecture of life. This thematic link underscores the show’s focus on transformation, structure, and the fluid beauty of nature.
A Unique Dialogue Between Past and Present
Set in the monumental Baths of Diocletian, a site rich in archaeological significance, the exhibition places Cragg’s contemporary sculptures in direct conversation with Roman antiquity. The grand halls and vaulted ceilings provide a dramatic backdrop, allowing visitors to appreciate the scale and nuance of the works in a historically charged environment.
