Glory of Venice: Masterworks of the Renaissance -- Denver Art Museum, Jan. 7, 2017

During a short visit to Colorado at the beginning of 2017, I had an opportunity to view two exhibits at the Denver Art Museum (DAM). The first one was "Glory of Venice: Masterworks of the Renaissance," which is the subject of this photo gallery. Here is a description from the museum's Web site:

"Experience the extraordinary creativity of Venice from the mid-1400s to early 1500s, when artists forged a Renaissance style that was distinctly Venetian. Through this artistic evolution, the city became an internationally recognized model of pictorial excellence. Artworks in the exhibition emphasize how masters during this period—whose sensitivity toward color and light remained unparalleled for centuries—veered from traditional techniques and began using oil paint to experiment with depth, emotion, and dimension in their work.

"Glory of Venice features about 50 significant works, and provides visitors with a rare opportunity to experience 19 artworks from Venice’s Gallerie dell’Accademia, which houses one of the greatest collections of Venetian Renaissance art in the world. Additional masterworks on view include paintings on loan from the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice, and the Fondazione Magnani Rocca in Parma, Italy, as well as signature paintings in the DAM’s collection."

For more information on this exhibit and the museum, go to this Web page: http://denverartmuseum.org/exhibitions/glory-venice . The exhibit will be on view at the Denver Art Museum through Feb. 12. It will then travel to the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, where it will be on view from March 4 to June 18.

Having less than an hour to go through this awesome exhibit, I decided to photograph as many of the paintings as I could for a more thorough and more leisurely examination later. Alas, I did not manage to capture every piece before I had to proceed to the next exhibit, "Star Wars: The Power of Costume," for which my family and I had a prescheduled (timed) admission. ... By the way, days earlier, we had the pleasure of dining with PBase friend Dan Greenberg and his family.
