Titian was, at the point of his death in 1576, the last surviving giant of the Italian Renaissance. Beyond perfecting the art of portraiture, religious and historical painting, Titian provided a model for how a great courtier and artist should live.
Titian's inheritance was nowhere more fruitfully received than by the two pre-eminent Flemish painters of the following century: Rubens and Van Dyck.
This exhibition, which includes recently rediscovered works, charts the lives and careers of the three painters and explores how their ideas were exchanged not just through paint, but also on the cultural and courtly currents of 16th and 17th century Europe.
