See this five-star exhibition on art, family, rivalry and personality
What is it?
2-for-1 tickets on two great Renaissance masters.
Why buy?
Andrea Mantegna and Giovanni Bellini were colleagues, rivals and brothers-in-law who helped to define a whole era of art. Mantegna’s compositional innovation and Bellini’s natural landscape paintings were groundbreaking – no one had seen anything like it before.
‘Mantegna and Bellini’ is the first exhibition of its kind – it explores the creative links between Mantegna and Bellini, providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those lucky enough to visit. There will be a range of paintings and drawings from around the world by both artists. Tickets start at just £14, and you can bring a friend for free.
From our five-star review:
‘These are artists engaged in a cultural arms race. Individually brilliant, seen together they give a sense of the all-consuming ambition of the Renaissance, and it’s staggering.’
