| Giovanni Battista Moroni, Young Lady, c1560-65 |
This is a thrilling opportunity to see a comprehensive display of Moroni's exquisite portraits. Moroni (1520/4 - 1579) lived and worked in, and around, Bergamo in northern Italy painting the local nobility and other residents. While this is certainly the first major survey of his work to be seen in this country, Moroni is not quite the undiscovered master that some press reports seem to suggest - a fine collection of his work will be familiar to visitors to the National Gallery where they have been on show since their purchase in the 1860s and 70s.
Read reviews by Laura Cumming, Richard Dorment, Waldemar Januszczak, Jonathan Jones, Charles Hope and a 'preview' by Claudia Pritchard.
