Edition No. 147
Masterpiece statues now on display at DIA
The Detroit Institute of Arts recently debuted four important bronze statuettes from the Museo Nazionale del Bargello, Florence. The exhibit, Masterpieces of Early Italian Renaissance Bronze Statuettes, runs through March 3 in the Tuscan Early Renaissance Gallery.
The bronze masterpieces are on view for the first time ever together in America, these magnificent Florentine and Mantuan bronzes exemplify the breathtaking transformations that were hallmarks of the early Italian Renaissance. The exhibition tells the story of how these masters, through revolutions in bronze casting and artistic expression, created a new era in the history of art in 15th century Italy.
