In anticipation of Caravaggio’s Cupid, opening on 26 November, join us to celebrate an Italian masterpiece in our permanent collection.
In this talk, travel to Venice with Curator of Decorative Arts Alexander Collins and learn about a pair of dazzling chairs, which vie for our attention displayed next to paintings by Canaletto and Guardi. Consider the recently restored upholstery and the chairs’ extraordinary provenance.
