"Little Treasures : Northern and Italian Paintings of the 16th and 17th Centuries."
2000-12-13 until 2001-03-11
Detroit Institute of Art
Detroit, MI, USA

Among those paintings that often remain off view are several small works of excellent quality. This exhibition places on view a number of choice paintings representing the 16th century Renaissance and 17th century Baroque periods in Italy and the Low Countries (Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands).

Included are little-known works associated with Correggio, Annibale Carracci and Pietro da Cortona as well as a number of Dutch paintings including two associated with Rembrandt.

Several of the exhibited pictures are painted on copper, a support that enabled painters to create highly finished works in exquisite detail. Their smooth, enamel-like surface lends an aura of costliness and refinement long sought after by discerning collectors.
