Carvers and Collectors: The Lasting Allure of Ancient Gems
Daily through September 7, 2009
Museum, Floor 2, Getty Villa
Carved gemstones have captivated connoisseurs of every age, from antiquity to the modern period. The exhibition Carvers and Collectors: The Lasting Allure of Ancient Gems brings together remarkable intaglios and cameos carved by ancient master engravers along with some of the outstanding works by modern carvers that they have inspired. The gems are displayed together with material from later periods that evinces their importance through the ages—illuminated manuscripts, rare engravings from early catalogues, cabinets designed to house collections of gems, and other works of art in diverse media to illustrate the lasting allure of these masterpieces in miniature.
