GENTILESCHI: DUE CAPOLAVORI A CONFRONTO

A new exhibition dossier that aims to broaden the cultural experience of visitors and strengthen relations with other institutions through collaborative projects with Italian and foreign museums. From 7 September to 12 December 2021, the Royal Museums will be hosting Orazio Gentileschi’s ‘Saint Cecilia playing the spinet with the angel’ on the first floor of the Sabauda Gallery, on loan from the National Gallery of Umbria in Perugia. The event offers an extraordinary opportunity for a direct comparison with the ‘Annunciation’, a masterpiece by the same artist, a famous follower of Caravaggio, kept in the Royal Museums.
