Titian’s First Masterpiece: The Flight into Egypt

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.

This exhibition is accompanied by the National Gallery book Titian: A Fresh Look at Nature.
