Exhibitions at the National Gallery 2009 Major Exhibition
Renaissance Faces: Van Eyck to Titian
15 October 2008 – 18 January 2009
Sainsbury Wing
Admission charge
Booking now: 0844 2091778

A landmark exhibition at the National Gallery explores the dramatic rise of portraiture in the Renaissance, through the great Masters of Northern and Southern Europe.

Renaissance Faces: Van Eyck to Titian features
masterpieces by, among others, Raphael, Titian, Botticelli, van Eyck, Holbein, Dürer, Lotto, Pontormo and Bellini. The exhibition provides a rare opportunity to explore Renaissance portraiture in exceptional depth, displaying over 60 paintings alongside important sculptures, drawings and medals.

In the 15th and 16th centuries, portraits played a vital role in every aspect of human life: childhood, politics, friendship, courtship, marriage, old age and death.

The exhibition provides fresh insights into fundamental issues of likeness, memory and identity while revealing a remarkable community of Renaissance personalities – from princes, envoys and merchants to clergymen, tradesmen and artists.

The exhibition has been organised by the National Gallery, London and the Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid

Venerable London gallery Browse & Darby opens its doors on 8th May 2008 with its 32nd Annual Exhibition of British and French paintings, drawings and sculptures. The exhibition runs from 8th May until 13th June 2008.

Visitors to the exhibition have a rare chance to view pieces by renowned and celebrated artists from the late 19th and 20th Centuries. A highlight of the show is Edgar Degas’ (1834-1917) Deux Danseuses circa 1895, executed in charcoal and pastel, which is a study for the pastel Danseuses dans les coulisses, and aptly illustrates the artist’s abiding fascination with movement and dance.
