With over 140 works, from sculpture, painting, and works on paper to decorative arts, Reimagining the Renaissance charts the revolutionary changes across Europe during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries: world-changing politics and power dynamics, religious reformation and the rise in secularism, myth and allegory, and everyday life. During this period, notions of form, colour, and perception inherently changed in art, notably the understanding of composition and realism and the rise of humanism.
Featuring work by Pieter Breughel II, Albrecht Dürer, Hans Holbein The Younger, Tintoretto, Benvenuto Tisi and others.
