Saints and Spirits in Early Modern Europe Saints and Spirits in Early Modern Europe

Saints and Spirits in Early Modern Europe juxtaposes images of distillation and related revelry with representations of saints and the sacred. Among the works featured are a newly acquired print, The Drunken Silenus (The Tazza Farnese) by Annibale Carracci (Italian, 1560-1609), and a Masterwork on Loan by Venetian painter Paris Bordone (Italian, 1500-71). Additional works from the JSMA’s permanent collection examine the coextensive worlds of sanctity and distilled spirits. The exhibition was curated by Caroline Phillips, Curatorial Extern in American and European Art.
