Madonnas and Miracles: National Gallery loans to Fitzwilliam Museum exhibition
/Three paintings from the National Gallery Collection have been loaned to the Fitzwilliam Museum to form part of the new exhibition 'Madonnas and Miracles: The Holy Home in Renaissance Italy'.
'Portrait of a Young Lady' (about 1500-1510) by Bartolomeo Veneto; 'The Birth of the Virgin' (about 1440) by the Master of the Osservanza; and 'Christ Crowned with Thorns' (about 1500-1505) probably by Pietro Perugino, will be on display as part of the Cambridge exhibition which runs until 4 June 2017.
The exhibition brings together a wealth of objects, including jewellery, ceramics, books, sculptures, and paintings, offering a vivid encounter with Renaissance spirituality and domesticity; and bringing a new appreciation of the relationship between the material and the divine.
