Indepth Arts News: "Paintings from The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge" 2002-03-22 until 2002-05-19 National Gallery London, , UK United Kingdom
Reflecting major strengths of The Fitzwilliam Museum's collection, these works share themes associated with High Renaissance and Baroque art, in particular a liking for dramatic encounters and a preoccupation with the transience of human life. Their compositional inventiveness, strong emotional effects, and striking use of light and colour are also characteristic of this period in painting. Furthermore, this selection demonstrates the exchange of ideas between Italian and Netherlandish artists which occurred during this time.
Following the exhibition the paintings will be displayed for a further year alongside works in the National Gallery permanent collection, which will allow them to be viewed in their proper historical contexts.
