Tura: Painting and Design in Renaissance Ferrara January 30 - May 12, 2002 The Gardner Museum presents an exhibition devoted to one of the most original artists of the early Renaissance, Cosmè Tura (ca. 1430-1495). Tura's art has an intense expressive power, and his style set the tone for the artistic culture in his native Ferrara. The exhibition will showcase Tura's paintings, as well as metalwork, tapestry, and manuscript illumination based on his designs. Several lectures, a concert of Renaissance Ferrarese music, and a public symposium (March 2, 2002) are also planned. Stephen Campbell, Assistant Professor, University of Pennsylvania, and Alan Chong, Norma Jean Calderwood Curator of the Collection at the Gardner Museum, are co-curators of the exhibition |
