On reading the press release for this exhibition, the words “mission impossible” came to mind.
The new show, “Metamorphosis: Titian 2012,” at the National Gallery in London sets three contemporary artists a challenge. At the entrance hangs a trio of the greatest pictures Titian painted: “Diana and Actaeon” “Diana and Callisto” and “The Death of Actaeon” -- three masterpieces of western art.
