Exhibition "Michel Sittow 500"

December 2025 marks 500 years since the death of Michel Sittow (c. 1469–1525). The exhibition presents earlier works (mainly religious pieces created in Spain) of the Tallinn-born artist, who was highly valued in Europe. The centrepieces of the exhibition are selected panel paintings of the monumental altarpiece of the family chapel of the Luna family in Toledo Cathedral, for which Sittow painted several panels with saints as a young artist (1488–1489). This was followed by Sittow’s prominent career as a court artist.
