\u201cThese ideas of the Renaissance go with them, but the framework is all gone, so they start twisting the ideas,\u201d Rassieur said. Artists started manipulating perspective, and realism gave way to imagination.<\/p>\n

Curator Frederick Ilchman, chairman of European Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and scholar of later Renaissance art, noted the curiosity of Rassieur\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople talk about exceptions all the time, like one oddity that doesn\u2019t really fit into the schema,\u201d Ilchman said. \u201cBut Tom is saying: wait, time out \u2015 it\u2019s a larger trend. It may even represent a shift.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at times pairs a classic Renaissance print with a \u201cweird one,\u201d or just lets the weirdness shine on its own. <\/p>\n

But then 30 years later, an engraving shows up, and it\u2019s unclear who made it. However, the structure looks similar to the previous work, especially the trees and size. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThese ideas of the Renaissance go with them, but the framework is all gone, so they start twisting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3836,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[442,498,499,500,501,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-3835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3835"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3835\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
