titian. dialogues of nature and love the galleria borghese encounters the nymph and shepherd from vienna a cura di maria giovanna sarti

titian. dialogues of nature and love is a dossier exhibition that stemmed from the loan of titian’s painting nymph and shepherd from the kunsthistorisches museum in vienna as part of a cultural exchange programme between the two institutions. the encounter between the painting from vienna and the works by titian in the galleria borghese enables the works to interact with each other around themes that were a constant feature of the artist’s output, a common thread running through his work from the beginnings of his career to its final phases: nature, in the sense of a significant landscape and a place of human action, and love, depicted in its various forms – divine, natural and matrimonial love – personified by venus or by a nymph, a young girl or a bride.
