Don't miss your chance to see "The Art of Devotion: Panel Painting in Early Renaissance Italy"-- the exhibition closes this Sunday. This exhibit brings together paintings from 10 different collections to explore how these works (all products of collaboration that depended upon a close relationship between patrons, painters, woodworkers, and gilders) were made and how they served both as a focus for devotion and as an emphatic statement about wealth and status. Guest curated by Katherine Smith Abbott.
