 ns\nEvent Date Begin: 2010-02-25\nEvent Date End: 2010-05-23\n\nIn Italy d
 uring the Renaissance (around 1400 to 1600)\, an innovative form of sculpt
 ure was developed using fine clay that was modeled before being fired in a
  kiln. Called terracotta in Italian (meaning baked earth)\, this type of s
 culpture has often been overlooked in favor of sculpture carved in marble 
 or cast in bronze. Clay can be handled easily with material added\, remove
 d\, or textured as required. This freedom allowed artists to capture fine 
 details and emotional expression. Moreover\, terracotta sculpture of the R
 enaissance was almost always painted or glazed in naturalistic colors. Fig
 ures were often life-sized\, three-dimensional\, and fully colored\, givin
 g terracotta sculpture a remarkable immediacy. For large works\, separate 
 figures were often fired separately and then assembled. In both religious 
 scenes meant to inspire the faithful\, as well as in portraits that record
 ed individual likeness\, the naturalism of colored terracotta works convey
 ed emotions with great power. Isabella Gardner acquired several terracotta
  sculptures\, including large multi-figured compositions.\n\nStart time: 1
