Bellini, Botticelli, Titian: 500 Years of Italian Art

23 March 2013 – 23 June 2013

About the
exhibition

This spectacular exhibition comprised of forty of the City of Glasgow’s greatest Italian paintings – the finest and most comprehensive civic collection in the UK, and mostly unseen outside Glasgow. The works, of the highest quality and richness, chronicle a remarkable time span from 1400 – 1900, demonstrating the gradual move from religious to secular subjects. This outstanding exhibition included landscapes, portraits and devotional works from the Renaissance by artists such as Giovanni Bellini, Sandro Botticelli, Titian, Salvator Rosa and Francesco Guardi.

The exhibition was accompanied by a redisplay of works within Compton Verney’s own Neapolitan Collection in the first Naples gallery.

This exhibition was organised by Glasgow Museums.
