Titian's Women: Renaissance Female Portraits at Kunsthistorisches Museum

The exhibition 'Titian's Vision of Women' is currently on display at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, showcasing female portraiture from Renaissance Venice. It features notable artists including Titian, Jacopo Tintoretto, Palma il Vecchio, Giorgione, and Lorenzo Lotto. The event opens with Tintoretto's 'The Fall of Adam and Eve' alongside Titian's 'Madonna and Child'. Emphasizing secular depictions of women and the Querelle des femmes, the exhibition includes sections on 'Beautiful Venetian Women', royal figures, and heroines like Mary Magdalene, highlighting virtues such as courage and chastity. A segment dedicated to courtesans presents Tintoretto's portrait of Veronica Franco. The exhibition, addressing the paragone debate, concludes with Titian's portrait of Clarissa Strozzi and runs until January 16, 2022, before moving to Palazzo Reale in Milan.
