San Sepolcro
NOVEMBER 25 CRYPT OF SAN SEPOLCRO CLOSED
25/11/2025-25/11/2025
This painting has been interpreted in a number of ways, but scholars currently agree that it shows the wedding of Peleus, of Greek mythology, and the sea-nymph Thetis: from their marriage came the celebrated Greek hero Achilles. The scene shows the moment when the nymph is led, by a putto holding the nuptial flame, to Peleus. He greets her and takes her to the bridal bed, shown on the right, where other winged putti pull back the curtains. At the bottom left, there is another mythological figure, probably a nymph, blindfolded.
From 18.00 to 19.30 (last admission) entrance to the Art Gallery and Crypt at the special price of €3.00
On December 2 come to the Pinacoteca for an individual evening visit and a brass concert in the Sala Federiciana!
