Organised with the National Gallery, the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, brings together for the first time since the 17^th century the six mythological paintings based on classical poetry known as the “poesies”, painted by Titian for Philip II between 1551 and 1562 and which are among the most important within the artist’s output, not just for their artistic quality but also due to the way in which Titian approached the pictorial depiction of classical literary accounts.
