Image of Jacopo del Sellaio

Inspire 2020 exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum

The Inspire 2020 exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum ran from December 2019 until March 2020.

It brought together artwork by schoolchildren, the interpretative possibilities of augmented reality, and scientific, educational and art-historical expertise at the University of Cambridge to explore one of the museum’s best-known Renaissance pictures: Jacopo del Sellaio’s engaging narrative of the mythical romance between Cupid, matchmaker to the gods of pagan antiquity, and the mortal Psyche, painted in Florence in the 1470s.
