About
Get ahead of the crowds and join expert guide, Maurizio Patti for an in-depth talk about 'The Last Caravaggio' before the Gallery opens.
We'll be hosting two talks: the first at 8am for early risers seeking pre-work inspiration and morning motivation, and the second at 9am for those wanting a kickstart to the exhibition before opening at 10am.
Your ticket includes tea, coffee and breakfast pastries, followed by an in-depth talk from Maurizio, and time to enjoy a private view of the exhibition afterwards.
Caravaggio made some of his most striking works during his final, turbulent years, and few paintings are better placed to illustrate this than his last-known painting, 'The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula' (1610, Gallerie d’Italia, Naples); the focus of this exhibition. Join us to contemplate this remarkable masterpiece, and explore the troubled end to Caravaggio's life.
