Art in Dialogue: Duccio | Caro

‘Art in Dialogue: Duccio | Caro’ is a creative interaction of two works of art made almost 700 years apart: 'The Annunciation' by the Sienese painter Duccio (active 1278–1319) and ‘Duccio Variation No. 3’, one of seven sculptures that the British sculptor Sir Anthony Caro (1924–2013) made in response to Duccio’s painting. This is the first time that this painting and sculpture have been seen together.
