Offering of the Angels: Treasures from the Uffizi Gallery
Overview
O ering of the Angels: Treasures from the U zi Gallery is a traveling exhibition from the famed U zi Gallery in Florence, Italy. The exhibition features 45 works – two large tapestries and 43 paintings by Renaissance artists from the 15th to 17th century. This exhibition, along with related programming, will be presented at the James A. Michener Art Museum from April 21, 2012 – August 10, 2012. Curated by Antonio Natali, the Director of the U zi, the exhibition examines classical sacred art as the visual representation of the path to redemption and the life of Christ, and also presents the broad diversity and stylistic evolution of art from Northern Italy during the seminal Renaissance period. The exhibition includes works by masters such as Botticelli, Tintoretto, Parmigianino, Lorenzo Monaco, Guercino, Cristofano and Alessandro Allori. A recently restored painting attributed to Tiziano has just been added to the exhibition, and will be on public display for the rst time in recent history. This tour is the only time these masterworks will be seen in the United States, and the Michener Art Museum is the only venue to host this exhibition in the Northeast region.
