From the 13th of November the new exhibition “Italian Renaissance from Wawel: Botticelli, Tiziano” is open for everyone!
The National Museum – Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania is continuing its year-long cooperation with the Wawel Royal Castle – State Art Collections in Kraków (Poland) and in this exhibition, Italian Renaissance from Wawel: Botticelli, Tiziano, it is presenting another five outstanding works by Italian Renaissance artists.
The works displayed at this exhibition are by masters from two schools of painting – the Florentine and Venetian. An admiration for Antiquity, the play of colour and the depiction of people as idealised representations of beauty are the creative characteristics of probably the most famous artist from Florence, the innovator Sandro Botticelli (Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, 1445–1510). These characteristics are evident in the work Madonna and Child with Angels.
You can visit the exhibition until the 23rd of February!
