In the National Gallery 3 paintings were reunited in 2012 for the first time since the 18th century, the 3 paintings are 'The Death of Actaeon', 'Diana and Actaeon' and 'Diana and 'Callisto' which were all painted by Titian from the 15 book poem written by Ovid (43BC - 17AD).
This painting is Diana and Actaeon.
This painting it Diana and Callisto.
This painting is The death of Actaeon.
The poem which inspired the paintings which have now inspired a group of contemporary artists to create a unique twist to these pieces. Chris Ofili, Conrad Shawcross and Mark Wallinger joined with The Royal Ballet have created a new display for the National Gallery, it involves set deigns and costumes for 3 new ballets that will be performed in The Royal Opera House July 2012. Chris, Conrad and Mark collaborated with top British choreographers, dances and composers to create the 3 ballets.
