Devotion and Fantasy, Witchcraft, and the World's End

2 December, 2020

This selection of paintings and prints from a major private Charleston collection of Northern Renaissance art introduces a world of intensely, and sometimes disturbingly, vivid imagery.

The exhibition is on view at the Gibbes Museum of Art, 135 Meeting St, Charleston, SC 29401 from October 9, 2020 - June 27, 2021.
