The Art Institute’s collection of earlier European art is small but significant. Works in this gallery date from as early as 1300, including Italian gold-ground paintings of the early Renaissance, northern European stone sculpture dating from 1300 to 1500, and Flemish tapestries. Their subjects include scenes from the life of Christ, portraiture, and stories drawn from classical antiquity. Some objects were probably intended for churches, but others were for domestic settings, and one was even part of a wedding chest for a wealthy bride. Paintings by Pier Francesco Bissolo, François Clouet, and Hans Schäufelein are among the works on view in this gallery.
