A 14th century devotional triptych and a 21st century work by Gilbert and George will feature in the illuminating exhibition, Orate Pronobis: Six Hundred Years of Saints, being staged by Moretti Fine Art at 2A-6 Ryder Street, London SW1, from 15 October to 15 November 2013.
The aim of the exhibition is to provide context for the figures of saints that are ubiquitous in Italian Old Masters and to reflect on our modern interpretation of them. Fabrizio Moretti hopes that by juxtaposing paintings of saints by artists born some 600 years apart, visitors will reflect on who these people were, their stories, their legacy, and what, if any, relevance they have today.
