Learn about a key moment in
the history of art, when emphasis on observation and realism was born
The exquisite Scenes from
the Lives of the Virgin and other Saints by Giovanni da Rimini, the most
talented artist in 14th-century Rimini, was purchased by the National Gallery
in 2015.
Long thought of as part of
a diptych together with a panel depicting ‘Scenes from the Life of Christ’ in
the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Antica, Rome, the exhibition reunites the
paintings, a reconstruction never before seen in the UK.
Presented with outstanding
loans including works by artists working in Rimini in the early 14th century,
exceptional ivory plaques, and important Italian Trecento paintings from the
National Gallery, the exhibition reveals how these innovative works combine the
discerning details of late-Byzantine icons with a new, more expressive style.
