Guercino at Waddesdon: King David and the Wise Women

Published on August 28, 2024

Over 350 years since they were painted, five paintings by renowned Bolognese painter Guercino are on display together for the first time at Waddesdon in a new exhibition.

This historic exhibition spotlights one of the great painters of 17th-century Italy, Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, known as Guercino (1591-1666). Brought together for the first time since leaving the artist’s studio in 1651, are Waddesdon’s King David alongside two associated paintings of sibyls from the National Gallery and another sibyl from the Royal Collection, painted the same year.

The exhibition takes place from March 20 – October 20, 2024 at Waddeson Manor, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP18 0JH.
