The extraordinary quality and dynamism of the visual arts in France at the dawn of the Renaissance receives the royal treatment at the Art Institute of Chicago. Kings, Queens, and Courtiers: Art in Early Renaissance France – through May 30, 2011, in the museum’s Regenstein Hall – is the first exhibition in the United States to be devoted to this fascinating period in French art, when late Gothic exuberance encountered the energy and harmony of the Italian Renaissance.
