The British Museum Spotlight Loan: Troy: Beauty and Heroism

A British Museum Spotlight Loan Troy: Beauty and Heroism features an Etruscan urn, never been on loan before, portraying Helen's abduction by the Trojan prince Paris, while an Athenian amphora shows the brutal side of Achilles. Supplementing these ancient objects are artworks by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) and Pietro Testa (1612-1650). This touring show will convey key events in the story of the Trojan War that define the lives and character of these two figures, as interpreted by ancient and modern artists.
Complementing objects on loan from the British Museum will be items from The McManus' collections and loans from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design and the University of Dundee.
