Acquisitions of Italian Renaissance Prints: Ideals Made Flesh
Acquisitions of Italian Renaissance Prints: Ideals Made Flesh
(Sunday) — (Sunday)
Overview: Prints played a pivotal role in the development and transmission of Italian Renaissance style. Because many of these 16th-century prints reproduce the designs of other artists, they have often been undervalued. Yet the sophistication and beauty with which they translate even the most complex idea into sensuous form had no precedent and have few equals. This can be appreciated only in rare, early impressions of these prints. In recent years the Gallery has been fortunate to acquire a surprising number of such impressions. This exhibition presents some two dozen, reflecting the principal styles and numerous major masters of the period.
