Michel Sittow: Estonian
Painter at the Courts of Renaissance
Undoubtedly the greatest Renaissance artist
from Estonia,
likely studied in Bruges with Hans Memling,
and worked at the courts of renowned European royals such as King Ferdinand of
Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castille. Through some 20 works, representing most
of Sittow's small oeuvre, the exhibition (04.02.2018 - 13.05.2018) will offer an opportunity to examine
his art in a broader context, including a possible collaboration with Juan de
Flandes and Sittow's relationship to his Netherlandish contemporaries. (Text: National
