THE ART OF ITALY IN THE ROYAL COLLECTION: THE RENAISSANCE
From: Friday 25 April 2008 To: Sunday 26 October 2008
The highly acclaimed exhibition of 16th- and 17th-century Italian art in the Royal Collection comes to Scotland in two parts in 2008 and 2009.
It celebrates the artistic legacy of the Stuart kings, Charles I and his son, Charles II, whose taste profoundly influenced the character of the British Royal Collection.
Part one presents the Italian Renaissance and includes many of the greatest masters of 16th-century Venice, Florence and Rome. Works by Giovanni Bellini, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Tintoretto and Titian are among the 74 paintings and drawings brought together from royal palaces and residences across Britain.
