Beauty and Ugliness in the Renaissance – Bozar Bruxelles

Beauty and ugliness have always fascinated people, yet their meanings shift over time. Bellezza e Bruttezza explores how artists from Italy and Northern Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries depicted these extremes, from refined ideals to deliberate grotesques. A rare opportunity to see extraordinary works, by renowned artists such as BotticelliTitianTintorettoLeonardo da VinciMichelangeloCranach the ElderMassys, and many others. And also three of my scent bottles attributed to the 16th century!
