Exhibition held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. English text. Summary: Titian’s "Lady in White" is full of gracefulness and beauty – but also full of mysteries. Speculations have always been made about the identity of the young woman. Is she the artist’s daughter Lavinia; is she the ideal image of feminine beauty? The essays in this publication focus in depth on this masterwork by Titian that is one of the highlights of the world famous Old Masters Picture Gallery in Dresden. The results of the restoration work and research carried out in recent years are presented along with the history of the origins of the Dresden Picture Gallery. Contents: A.
