Poetry on canvas | Metamorphosis: Titian 2012 | The National Gallery, London

Curator Carol Plazzotta and poet Lavinia Greenlaw talk about Titian, the poetic painter and Ovid, the painterly poet. Learn how Titian borrows the rhyme, rhythm, contrast and surprise of Ovid’s poetry to bring depth and human scale to his epic canvases. Titian’s ’Diana and Actaeon’, ’Diana and Callisto’ and ’The Death of Actaeon’ are the central paintings in the spectacular multi-arts project ’Metamorphosis: Titian 2012’ at the National Gallery, London until 23 September 2012.
