"Offering of the Angels: Paintings and Tapestries from the Uffizi Gallery" opens at the Chazen Museum of Art |
| August 24th, 2012 01:35:16 am |
MADISON, WI.- Forty-five works by Renaissance old masters will be on view in the Midwest for the first time. The exhibition of paintings and two tapestries was curated by Uffizi Gallery Director Antonio Natali around the theme of the Eucharist, and offers recently restored works by masters such as Botticelli, Tintoretto, Titian, and il Parmigianino. Spanning approximately three centuries from the late fourteenth to the early eighteenth century, these works were executed by some of the leading painters working in Italy, principally in Florence, during the rule of the Medici dynasty. The exhibition is organized into six sections: Old Testament; Original Sin and the Fall; New Testament; Mother and Son; The Last Supper, the Passion, and the Cross; The Resurrection and the Eucharist. The exhibition will be on view August 24 through November 25, 2012. Every Christmas, the Uffizi Gallery and the Amici degli Uffizi present a temporary exhibition |
