Pre-Enlightenment Art Exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum

OBJECT An allegory in colored wax of Death and Time cavorting around two youths in a classical landscape: Within the shallow space of a small wooden box, an early 18th century Italian nun named Caterina de Julianis managed to encapsulate the complex and contradictory worldview of the pre-Enlightenment age. Now, the Victoria and Albert Museum attempts something similar in the exhibition Baroque 1620-1800: Style in the Age of Magnificence. Through July 19. www.vam.ac.uk
