The Dawn of Egyptian Art
Tuesday, 10 April 2012 - Sunday, 05 August 2012
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
During the Predynastic and Early Dynastic Periods (ca. 4000–2650 B.C.), people in the Nile Valley began recording their beliefs through paintings, sculptures and reliefs made for their shrines and tombs. These works of art capture the evolving world view of these early Egyptians, and include forms and iconography that remained in use throughout the Pharaonic period. This exhibition brings together objects gathered from the Metropolitan's collection and from the collections of twelve other museums to illustrate the origins and early development of ancient Egyptian art. -
Titian’s First Masterpiece: The Flight into Egypt
Wednesday, 04 April 2012 - Sunday, 02 September 2012
National Gallery, London
Titian’s First Masterpiece: The Flight into Egypt examines the young artist’s creation of this ambitious and innovative work, believed to be one of his earliest paintings. The choice of his subject allowed Titian to display his skills in landscape painting and reveals bold brushwork and exhilarating use of colour. The painting, which has been generously lent by the Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, will go on display after years of skilled restoration. This exhibition is accompanied by the National Gallery book Titian: A Fresh Look at Nature. -
Byzantium and Islam: Age of Transition
Wednesday, 14 March 2012 - Sunday, 08 July 2012
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
The Eastern Mediterranean, from Syria across North Africa, comprised the wealthy southern provinces of the Byzantine Empire at the start of the 7th century. By that century's end, the region was central to the emerging Islamic world. This exhibition is the first to display the complex character of the region and its exceptional art and culture during the era of transition. The dialogue between established Byzantine and evolving Islamic styles and culture will be shown through images of authority, religion and especially commerce.
