Through the lens of Cecil Beaton witness the wild and hedonistic world of the ‘Bright Young Things’ of the twenties and thirties. Rarely exhibited before, the images will portray a creative era of British cultural life, mixing the High Society with the avant-garde, the artists with the writers, the socialites with the partygoers.
van Rijn (1606-69) / Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford, UK
Young Rembrandt
Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
From the 27th of February 2020 to the 7th of June 2020

From the 16th of March 2020 to the 14th of June 2020
The National Gallery will be presenting Titian’s idiosyncratic interpretation of the classical myths of love, temptation and punishment.

Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton, USA
From the 7th of March 2020 to the 14th of June 2020
