Modern museums have cast many artifacts of Renaissance life into the venerable role of art objects. Although aesthetic concerns certainly figured into the production of these artifacts, their original sites of display and engagement reveal a great deal about the many other reasons, beyond beauty, that they were produced. The church, the home, and the public palace, as the principal loci of artistic display in Renaissance and baroque Italy, structure this exhibition, which features objects from the Smart Museum's permanent collection. By focusing on original sites of display, engagement, and interaction, The Uses of Art in Renaissance Italy calls attention to the rich interplay of form and function in early modern material culture and situates the contemporary notion of "art" within a more fully developed historical context.
