Heroes & Lovers: Property of a Distinguished Collector unites an extraordinary group of works spanning the Renaissance to the 20th century, placing four paintings by Pablo Picasso and a pastel by Edouard Manet, in conversation with masterpieces by Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem and Tilman Riemenschneider. Across themes of passion, valour, mythology, devotion and the human figure, these works reveal how artists separated by centuries returned to the same enduring questions of beauty, power and love. Together, they offer a compelling exploration of the timeless dialogue that connects the great masters of art history.

Works from Heroes & Lovers will be offered during our 20th and 21st Century Art auctions this November in New York, with the remaining works presented during Classic Week in February 2027.
