[Loch-Ruadh] UpComing Exhibit at the Kimbell

Art and Love in Renaissance Italy
March 15-June 14, 2009


Among the most extraordinary works created by artists in Renaissance Italy 
are those made to celebrate love and marriage. This exhibition will present 
a group of exceptional objects that commemorate the most profound moments of 
Renaissance life-betrothal, marriage, and the birth of a child-as well as 
more informal bonds of love. Dating from 1400 to 1600 they will range from 
the painted panels of great bridal chests, to marriage portraits and 
paintings that extolled sensual love and fertility. Also included will be 
outstanding ceramics, glassware, jewelry, prints and drawings.
