About the Event
Today, only one of the poesie is owned by a Spanish museum (the Prado); one is in Boston (at the Gardner); and the other four are owned by institutions in the United Kingdom, and can all be seen in London. They are poetic imaginings with metaphorical meanings about love, cruelty, loss and the paradoxes of sight.
Painted during a moment in Titian’s life where his technique is transitioning from a more linear, harder edged contour to a much brushier, almost Impressionistic way of painting.
Join Mariska Beekenkamp-Wladimiroff as she talks through the huge importanc of this series of works in the history of art. Already split up within Philip’s lifetime, and scattered throughout Europe, these paintings spread their influence among distinguised artists and patrons for centuries to come.
