Rome has been an inspiration for some of the most influential artists and works in our collection.
This talk and tour will take us from the dark imaginings of Sebastiano del Piombo, via the rivalry of the Carracci brothers and Caravaggio, to the intense European legacy of the Roman masters.
After the tour, we welcome you to Supporters’ House where you can reflect and discuss with others.
