A collection of masters of the Italian Renaissance from a foreign source, Poland. This exhibition contains gems of Italian paintings from many periods, spanning from the early 1300s to the late 1700s. The title of the exhibition- “The Chessplayers”- was isnpired by Sophisba Anguissola’s work painted in 1555, showing the female artist’s sisters gathering around a game of chess, an image of the new Renaissance woman who was conscious of her social status and erudition.
