This free exhibition offers the chance to explore differing representations of architecture in Italian Renaissance paintings.
Depictions of buildings in works by artists such as Duccio, Botticelli and Crivelli offer a fascinating insight into the architecture of the time.
While some reflect real architectural forms, others are deliberately fantastical, defying structural possibility but offering a convincing setting for biblical and mythological tales.
Plus, see these five short films providing contemeporary perspectives on imagined architecture and how closely the modern arts of design parallel those of Italian Renaissance painters. |
