Scientific exhibition on Titian's Ecce Homo works held at the Musee Conde

The Musee Conde at the historic Chateau de Chantilly near Paris is hosting a major exhibition titled "Titian, Ecce Homo: From Cyprus to Chantilly – Science in the Service of Art." Running from March 7, 2026, until June 14, 2026, the exhibition explores the artistic work of Titian, the renowned Renaissance painter who lived from approximately 1480 to 1576. The showcase centers on two paintings depicting the Ecce Homo theme, which shows Christ after flagellation being presented by Pontius Pilate. One painting originates from the Pittas Collection and features Christ with Pilate and two guards, while the second piece belongs to the Musee Conde and shows a solitary Christ. The exhibition emphasizes the role of modern scientific research conducted by the Cyprus Institute. Through interdisciplinary dialogue and advanced imaging techniques, the project reveals new information about Titian's artistic process and material practice. The Musee Conde is part of the Institut de France and holds one of the largest art collections in France.
