Suprises await in the Getty Museum's galleries this winter. A brilliant portrait by Hans Holbein the Younger—never before seen in the United States—takes center stage in a new installation of German Renaissance paintings in the North Pavilion. Also look for the fantastically carved 17th-century Ivory Goblet that has just joined the collection. And in the South Pavilion, don't miss two newly conserved panoramas of Venice's Grand Canal by Canaletto on special loan from the Dresden State Art Collections.
See the Holbein January 22 through April 22, the Canalettos through April 29, and Ivory Goblet through the fall.
