This extraordinary exhibition reunites paintings from the famous Giustiniani collection, dispersed during the Napoleonic Wars. Once more the Giustiniani Palace houses 70 16th and 17th-century masterpieces by the likes of Lotto, the Carracci brothers and Poussin on loan from galleries throughout Europe. Pride of place undoubtedly goes to the revolutionary canvasses of Caravaggio - 'Amore Vincitore', 'The Lute Player', 'The Crowning of Thorns' and 'St Thomas'. An interesting companion exhibition to the similar-themed show now on at the Royal Academy in London.
