Masterworks from the world’s oldest museum art gallery are coming to one of Madison’s newest. Forty-five artworks traveling from the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, will be featured in “Offering of the Angels: Painting and Tapestries from the Uffizi Gallery,” a historically important exhibition that opens Friday Aug. 24 at the Chazen Museum of Art, 750 University Ave.
“Offering of the Angels” is organized around the Christian theme of the Eucharist, with depiction of important imagery from the Old and New Testaments including original sin and the fall, the Virgin Mary, the Last Supper, the passion, the cross and the resurrection.
