See the Museum’s stunning recently acquired Tiffany windows in a setting of richly colored and lavishly decorated Renaissance and Baroque artworks. Though centuries apart, many of the fifteenth and sixteenth-century paintings on view, as well as the twentieth-century windows by Tiffany Studios, tap into spiritual needs and were commissioned for churches.
Studio of Quinten Massys (Flemish, 1465/66–1530), Saint Christopher, ca. 1491–1510, oil on oak panel. Samuel H. Kress Collection, 1961. (1961.47)
The newly reinstalled Kress Gallery also features landscapes, portraits, and genre scenes favored for sixteenth century European homes. Prints, textiles, and decorative arts complement Kress Collection painting and sculpture, and a new interactive allows visitors to see and hear the inner workings of our recently conserved eighteenth-century Dutch musical case clock. In Payne Hurd Gallery, explore Italian art of the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries and learn how artists from the Americas reinterpreted European Christian imagery in an age of colonization.
