All Events | Starting Friday, November 27, 2009Neapolitan presepio
Renaissance castles typically were lined with immense and colorful wall hangings often highlighted with threads of silk, silver, or gold. The ideas dramatized in these monumental pictures—religious, historical, or mythical—not only glorified their owners, but also reflected and reinforced the artistic, political, and social values of the age. This exhibition explores these engaging pictures in textile; the patrons, artists, and studios that created a taste for tapestries; and compares tapestry and print imagery.
