About

Discover the work of Francesco Pesellino (c.1422–1457) in this introduction to our new exhibition, 'Pesellino: A Renaissance Master Revealed.'

This exciting exhibition seeks to bring Pesellino's achievements to the forefront, showcasing his ability to paint intricate details, and his remarkable storytelling capabilities. 

Curator Laura Llewellyn will introduce the exhibition and Restorer Jill Dunkerton will discuss the restoration of Pesellino's ‘Stories of David’ cassone panels (about 1445–55), a highlight of the exhibition. 

After the talk, Jill will be on hand to answer any questions you may have in a live Q&A session.
