Madrid’s Prado Museum has opened an exhibition of all the great names in Renaissance portraiture – Botticelli, Jan van Eyck, Dürer, Piero della Francesca, El Greco, Holbein, Lorenzo Lotto, Anthonis Mor, Pisanello, Raphael and Titian. Running through September 7, “The Renaissance Portrait: From Pisanello to Rubens,” will present 126 works – paintings, sculptures, drawings, engravings and medals – most of which have never before been shown in Spain.
The program was organized with the National Gallery of London, where a different version will be presented in October.
