- Summary:
- The Richard and Erna Flagg collection, given to the Milwaukee Art Museum in 1991, is one of the most important single donations of European decorative arts to an American museum. It includes unique and historically significant objects that provide insight into the culture, religion, and history of the Renaissance.
- Highlights of the collection include masterpieces of precious materials and virtuoso craftsmanship: rare and visually stunning clocks; tablewares and vessels; furniture; and religious works. A Renaissance Treasury was designed and produced with a visual opulence to match the magnificent collection it celebrates; each object is reproduced in color with authoritative commentary.
- Notes:
