Reviews
'What better present could you give than that of an evening spent pondering some of the most physically vital, seductively sensual and vivid depictions of the loves and desires of the pagan gods.'
'The catalogue to the National Gallery's superlative show of Titian's magnificent poesie cycle of paintings explores the stories of the seven canvases that were bought together this year to be seen, possibly for the first time, as the painter originally intended.' - Best Art Books of the Year 2020. The Times.
