A trip across central and north Italy, with Gothic and Renaissance art from Giotto in FIRENZE to Tiziano in VENEZIA.
Among the highlights are:
-- Giotto's meticulously staged Adoration of the Magi
-- Duccio's affective Madonna and Child
--- Botticelli's Last Communion of Saint Jerome.
Two galleries devoted to the secular arts in Florence and the relation of painting to sculpture.
Mantegna's Adoration of the Shepherds
-- Veronese's great canvas of Mars and Venus and
-- Lorenzo Lotto's saucy Cupid peeing on his mother.
Plus the only altarpiece by Raphael in America.
