The Prado in Madrid have recently opened their latest exhibition Mythological Passions. The highlight will of course be Titian's mythological works which will be reunited in Spain for the first time since the sixteenth century. Other artists featured in the show include Veronese, Allori, Rubens, Ribera, Poussin, Van Dyck and Velázquez.

The photographs of the displays look spectacular and rather intimate, which is quite a surprise considering the times in which we live.

The exhibition will run till 4th July 2021.

Update - A reader has written in with the following question:

Does the Mythological Passions at the Prado have the first loan from the Wallace Collection ? (Perseus & Andromeda).

Unless a more obscure work of art has already gone out on loan already, I suppose this might be true (?) Any reader is welcome to correct me on this!
