NSU Art Museum | In Person Lecture “Imagery and Meaning in Italian Renaissance Painting”

While famous masterpieces such as the “Mona Lisa,” the “Birth of Venus,” and the “Sistine Chapel, Ceiling” draw massive crowds in Italy, most Italian Renaissance paintings in US museums are passed over for more readable, recognizable, and user-friendly 19th and/or 20th-century paintings. Museum-goers today often have a difficult time recognizing the characters, knowing the theology, identifying with the morality, or understanding the function of most Italian Renaissance paintings. Dr. Rocky Ruggiero will “read between the brushstrokes” to explain the meaning behind the imagery of painted masterpieces from the Italian Renaissance.
