'Titian at Apsley'

Three paintings which have recently been revealed to be by Titian are on display in a small exhibition at Apsley House, Hyde Park Corner, until the end of October. The paintings were given to the Duke of Wellington, who lived at Apsley House, by the King of Spain from the Spanish Royal collection, after Wellington defeated Napolean's brother Joseph Bonaparte in 1813 at Vitoria, Spain. Conservation work by English Heritage, the Hamilton Kerr Institute in Cambridge and the Prado in Madrid has confirmed that each work, previoulsy believed to be copies or by later followers, is a genuine Titian.
