Siena: The Art of Bronze, 1450–1500

Siena: The Art of Bronze, 1450–1500, the first exhibition to focus on Siena as a center of artistic excellence in bronze sculpture during the Italian Renaissance.

Giulio Dalvit, Associate Curator, discusses the importance of bronze, a material at the intersection of art and artillery in fifteenth-century Italy. He explores several marvels in the show, including statues and reliefs by Donatello and Vecchietta, many of which have never been exhibited outside of Tuscany. Gathered for this historic exhibition, these works shed new light on the history of Renaissance art.

Siena: The Art of Bronze, 1450–1500, is on view October 15, 2026, to January 18, 2027, at The Frick Collection. Learn more about Siena: The Art of Bronze, 1450–1500
