Renaissance Men: Classical Form in Art and Anatomy,
an exhibit that selectively surveys the
various ways that sculpture was interpreted in print, goes
on display today on the main level of
Homewood's Eisenhower Library.
Curated by seniors Gillian Maguire and Whitney Shaffer, the
exhibit features illustrated works
from the Sheridan
Libraries Special Collections and the Johns Hopkins Institute of the
History of
Medicine. Elizabeth Rodini, associate director of the
Program in Museums and Society and senior
lecturer in the Krieger School's History of Art
Department, served as the curatorial adviser. The
exhibit runs through March 3.
Classical sculpture had a widespread influence on the
culture of Renaissance and Baroque
Europe, influencing artists and scholars alike. Printmakers
contributed to the growing knowledge of
classicism by reproducing antique works in images that were
circulated across the Continent.
The exhibition considers how printmakers and publishers
reinvented ancient models to suit
different formats and functions, ranging from travel guides
to anatomical treatises. The familiarity of
the images attests to the success of the books in
establishing a canon of classically inspired figures,
forms and poses.
Renaissance Men expands on the ideas raised in
Printed Sculpture/Sculpted Prints, an upcoming
exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art that was also
curated by Maguire and Shaffer, along with
student colleagues, and will be on display from Nov. 14 to
March 30. The BMA exhibition results from
a collaboration between Johns Hopkins and the museum under
the auspices of the Krieger School of
Arts & Sciences' Program in Museums and Society.
