Beauty and ugliness play a fascinating role in Renaissance art. The exhibition brings together works from Italy and Northern Europe to explore how tastes and styles aligned or diverged. In the Early Renaissance, beauty was defined by mathematical rules, while ugliness was a realistic portrayal of humanity. In the 16th century, artists were granted greater freedom, and ugliness became a multifaceted concept.
