BALTIMORE, MD. â Opening September 8 on the fourth-floor drawing gallery of the Walters Museum of Art, âThe Repeating Image in Renaissance and Baroque Artâ will complement the âDéjà vu?â exhibition by looking at the theme of artistic copying from a Renaissance and Baroque perspective.
Focusing on approximately a dozen works of art, including painting, sculptures and decorative art objects, it will present a survey of the main forms of artistic copying that were practiced in Europe between the late 1300s and the early 1700s. The overarching aim will be to show that throughout these periods artists had a range of motivations for copying earlier works and rarely thought of copies as forgeries. âThe Repeating Imageâ will be on view through February 17.
The Walters is at 600 North Charles Street, on the corner of North Street. While general admission is free, âDéjà vu?â is a ticketed exhibition. For information, 410-547-9000 or www.thewaltersorg.
