Catholic Focus   Birthing the Renaissance

May 15, 2013 - The Renaissance is considered one of the most dynamic periods in Western art history, but perhaps as interesting is the city and the people that inspired it? In this episode of Catholic Focus join host Cheridan Sanders as she speaks with Sasha Suda the Art Gallery of Ontario's assistant curator of European art about their latest exhibit Revealing the Early Renaissance: Stories and Secrets in Florentine Art*. Discover how artists in a type of new evangelization of their era turned to New Testament stories of Christ’s life and the lives of the saints, to capture the imaginations of 14th Florentine citizens.


* Please note that the exhibit ends on June 16, 2013
