Abstract:

The first major exhibition organized by the North Carolina Museum of Art in its new building will feature Baroque Paintings from the Bob Jones University Collection. The paintings all depict religious subjects and were collected by the university for moral instruction and as inspirational resources for students. These purposes serve many of the same purposes as they would have during the seventeenth century when they were painted. The history and characteristics of the Baroque Period in art and of life in seventeenth century Europe are also detailed.
