OPENING AT THE GETTY CENTER

Giovanni Bellini: Landscapes of Faith in Renaissance VeniceThis exhibition offers a unique opportunity to experience masterpieces by Giovanni Bellini (about 1435–1516), one of the greatest Venetian painters of the Renaissance. Landscape played a prominent role throughout his long and illustrious career, complementing his religious subject matter and enhancing the meditational nature of paintings intended for the private devotion of highly sophisticated patrons. Distinguished by a refined sensitivity to the natural world, Bellini transformed traditional symbolic motifs into convincing yet poetic depictions of the Venetian mainland, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the history of European painting.

October 10, 2017–January 14, 2018Museum, North Pavilion

Sacred Landscapes: Nature in Renaissance ManuscriptsGreen spaces have a universal appeal. Nature’s majesty is evident in gardens, farmlands, and especially the untamed wilderness. In Renaissance Europe, many people looked to greenery within the walls of the city and beyond for inspiration and to guide their contemplation of the perceived divine order of creation. Manuscript illuminators were among those who carefully studied the raw elements of nature—such as rocks, trees, flowers, waterways, mountains, and even atmosphere—and incorporated these into luxurious objects of personal or communal devotion.

Finding FormLine by line and layer by layer, an artist conjures a three-dimensional world from a two-dimensional sheet of paper. Through an array of media and techniques—hatched ink lines, varying densities of wash, white chalk highlights—these draftsmen generate form, likeness, and depth, yielding an arresting presence. Featuring celebrated masterworks from the 1500s to the 1800s, all from the Getty’s permanent collection, this focused exhibition demonstrates how artists have performed this magic across time and place.

December 12, 2017–February 11, 2018Museum, West Pavilion

Robert Polidori: 20 Photographs of the Getty Museum Acclaimed photographer Robert Polidori (Canadian-American-French, born 1951), known for his images of architecture and human habitats, created a series of images of the Getty Center shortly before the opening of the multipurpose complex in 1997.

Organized to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Center, this exhibition features captivating behind-the-scenes views of the building and the new galleries as objects from J. Paul Getty’s painting, sculpture, and decorative arts collections were being installed in the Museum.
