Some say beauty is fleeting, others say it's in the eye of the beholder, but one thing will always be true: Titian's "La Bella" is an awe-inspiring example of what beauty can be. One of the most celebrated Renaissance artists, Venetian painter Titian's works have been revered for centuries, and it is with great luck that Fort Worth's Kimbell Art Museum (3333 Camp Bowie Blvd.) is playing host to "La Bella," one of Titian's most well known portraits. Recently restored, 1536's "La Bella" is on an international tour (on loan from her home at Galleria Palatina in Florence), and Nancy E. Edwards, curator of European art and head of academic services at the Kimbell, will host a lecture about "that woman in a blue dress," whose true identity remains a mystery to this day. The lecture will take place in the museum auditorium 2 p.m. Saturday as part of the exhibition Guest of Honor: That Woman in a Blue Dress: Titian's "La Bella," on display through September 18. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays, noon to 8 p.m. Fridays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. General admission is free. Call 817-654-1034 or visit kimbellart.org.
Tuesdays-Sundays. Starts: July 15. Continues through Sept. 18, 2011
