Italian art exhibition
A view of one of the paintings, Titian's
An exhibition featuring 24 works by Titian, Annibale Carracci and other major Italian painters will be officially opened at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens on Wednesday night by President of the Republic Karolos Papoulias and visiting Italian President Giorgio Napolitano.
The exhibition is entitled "From Titian to Pietro da Cortona: Myth, Poetry and the Sacred", and was organised with the assistance of the Italian embassy in Athens to mark the Italian president's official visit to Greece.
The works of art on display, including seven by the Venetian painter Tiziano Vecellio or 'Titian', are on loan from major Italian museums and galleries and explore the development of art in Italy during the 16th and 17th centuries.
The curator was Professor Giovanni Morello, working in collaboration with Cycladic Art Museum director Prof. Christos Stampolidis.
The exhibition is accompanied by a trilingual catalogue (Greek-Italian-English) which contains the paintings on display and scholarly articles by Prof. Claudio Strinati, Prof. Giovanni Morrello and Dr. Sergio Guarino. It is set to run until Dec. 20.
