A loan from the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid is heading to Milan for a new exhibition at the Pinacoteca di Brera. The museum said that Alberto Durero’s 'Jesús entre los doctores' (1506) is travelling alongside Giovanni Agostino da Lodi’s 'Pan y Siringe' and 'Ladón y Siringa' (c. 1510), the latter works listed as on deposit at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
The announcement identifies the Pinacoteca di Brera as the host of an exhibition devoted to Giovanni Agostino da Lodi, with the works included as part of that presentation. The loan brings together a work by Albrecht Dürer and two paintings associated with Lodi, reflecting the museum-to-museum circulation of Renaissance art across Spain and Italy.
'Jesús entre los doctores' dates to 1506, placing Dürer’s painting in the early sixteenth century, while the two mythological scenes associated with Giovanni Agostino da Lodi are dated to around 1510. The pairing in the announcement highlights the different artistic contexts from which the works emerge, even as they travel together to a single exhibition in Milan.
The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum shared the news via its social media channels, presenting the loans as part of the works’ journey to the Brera exhibition. No further curatorial details, installation information or accompanying programme were included in the source material provided.
The exhibition at the Pinacoteca di Brera is scheduled from 31 July to 31 October 2026 in Milan, according to the event listing attached to the announcement. That timeline places the borrowed works in the Italian institution for the duration of the show devoted to Giovanni Agostino da Lodi.
