An exhibition of paintings by the western European old masters has been unveiled at Moscow’s Pushkin Fine Arts Museum. Entitled From Raphael to Goya, the display features some 60 paintings by Giorgione, Titian, Veronese, Rubens, Velazquez and other major artists from the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
The collection is on loan from the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest. The works were acquired over four centuries by the House of Esterhazy, one of Hungary’s wealthiest aristocratic families.
