Discovering a Pre-Renaissance Master

After centuries of separation, three ornately painted panels belonging to two museums have come together as the pieces that may have originally formed one altarpiece. Through the Museum & Gallery's exhibition of Florentine painter Tommaso del Mazza -- the first in any museum -- art scholars will share with the local community and art enthusiasts the rich history behind the artist and the artwork. The Museum & Gallery initiated the premier exhibition of Tommaso del Mazza's works. In addition to the Museum & Gallery, five other galleries have contributed pieces from their distinctive collections in order to feature the majority of del Mazza's works in a single exhibition -- "The Twilight of a Tradition." - BJU Collegian.
