Just when, for the first time in five centuries, the National Gallery in London managed to bring together all six Titian's classic nude masterpieces based on Greek and Roman mythology for an art exhibit titled Titian - Love, Desire, Death (16 March - 14 June 2020), the COVID-19 pandemic closed all galleries in the UK.
