Cities of Splendor: A Journey Through Renaissance Italy
Denver Art Museum
April 10 through July 31, 2011

Cities of Splendor: A Journey Through Renaissance Italy invites visitors to explore more than 50 paintings, textiles and decorative arts that defined the style that became known as the Italian Renaissance. The artworks and sumptuously designed settings create a “passport to travel” to Italy during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Visitors have the chance to experience the distinctive creative contribution of each featured city to the birth of the Renaissance style. Coming from the museum’s own collection and select loans, the exhibition is on view at the Denver Art Museum (DAM) April 10 through July 31, 2011.
