This focused exhibition draws directly from the Haggerty Museum’s extensive holdings of Early Modern art to investigate how artists’ creations inspire delight and terror, often simultaneously. Featuring artworks made in Europe and the Americas between the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution, the exhibition takes a close look at images that join aesthetic pleasure to terrifying subject matter.
