EVENTS
Coventry is not the first place most people associate with medieval buildings yet, despite the horror of the blitz, much survives including buildings of great charm and quality.
Titian’s Venus of Urbino is just one of a number of Renaissance masterpieces that celebrate the beauty of the female form. But who were the women who modelled for such paintings?
Raphael is often referred to as one of the three giants of the High Renaissance in Italy, alongside Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, yet his fame and position in the canon of art history may seem hard to explain.
