2000-02-23 until 2000-05-25
Detroit Institute of Arts
Detroit, MI, USA United States of America

This exhibition examines the physical shapes, function, and historical context of early Italian devotional works. Many religious paintings from the 13th to mid-15th centuries belonged to larger, multi-paneled ensembles intended for church altars, family chapels and private homes. Many of these altarpieces and small devotional works were disassembled and dispersed during the last two centuries, reducing their original aesthetic impact and functional significance.
