Renaissance Treasures
CURATED COLLECTIONPainting and drawing from the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries make up this collection, produced during the revival of classical learning that reshaped European art across Italy and northern Europe. Renewed interest in perspective, anatomy and classical proportion transformed religious and mythological subjects that medieval art had treated more schematically, while humanist patrons increasingly commissioned portraits and secular scenes alongside devotional work. Much of the period's output came from busy workshops rather than a single hand, with master painters overseeing assistants on altarpieces and large commissions. The works here show the foundations of later Western painting taking shape.
