Green Lion is the ambitious title of the artistic event that will present, not only paintings, but also sculptures, photography, literature, music and movies. The exhibition is inspired by one of the most important members of the group of Renaissance scientists and inventors who made up the " Lincei Academy " at Cesi Palace : Giovan Battista Della Porta. Della Porta was a Universal Man, he was the Vice President of The Lincei Academy but, even more so, he was one of the most important men in his time. He was an alchemist, he invented the camera obscura, and he was one of the first to write many books about modern natural sciences, physiognomy, cryptography and optics, among others. The Green Lion was the symbol used by alchemists to encompass different concepts: it represents the natural world: both the vegetable and the mineral kingdom; it was the symbol of the lymphatic energy of plants, but also of the process of transmuting metals. The green lion was often associated with VITRIOL (acronym of an ancient Latin: "Visita interiora terrae rectificando invenies occultum lapidem - veram medicina". ("Visit the inner earth and by discovering your true self you will find the hidden stone - | ||
| the real medicine.) Furthermore the Green Lion represents one of the essential stages in the alchemic process: transmutation, evolution, generating substances. Very often the lion has been portrayed with the sun into its mouth, trying to swallow it. This symbol is a kind of synthesis, implying the act of regaining control over both natural and vital energies. | |||
| We can consider alchemy as being something more than an ancient form of science: it linked science with metaphysic. Natural sciences and occult sciences became intertwined, with the aim of finding explications for natural phenomena. Alchemists aimed at creating an elixir for longevity, as well as the famous philosophers' stone. This was an attempt to overcome the lack of balance they observed all around them and which they defined as diseases. So alchemy became a way of controlling |

spiritual energy through unique acts, and by means of a number of specific symbolic rituals, corresponding to particular procedures (putrefaction, calcination, distillation, sublimation).
Camaver Kunsthaus International brief introduction:
Finally, we can consider the Green Lion as a representation of the "creative spirit itself", described as the agent of any interior transformation. In other words, art becomes a process not mediated by the intellect, but by pure instinct, the handmaiden of the creative spirit. The “Green Lion” exhibition in Palazzo Cesi in Acquasparta will present many of the results manifested by this creative spirit.
With the headquarters in Luxembourg and the art department in Lecco, Italy, the Gallery has its allied galleries in Paris, Berlin, Sondrio of Italy, and Belgium in Europe, and in Boston in the U.S.A. It is the largest Italian International Gallery!
