Marking the 500th anniversary of the meeting of worlds that took place at the end of the 15th century, Circa 1492
reflects on this watershed moment, one that has been called “the most
significant secular event in human history.” Informed by the lasting
perspective of art and cultural achievement, this exhibition catalog
assesses what we have loosely termed the “Age of Exploration.” Including
more than 600 paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, maps, scientific
instruments, and works of decorative art from four continents—most of
them created during the late 15th or early 16th century—the exhibition
provides a broad, thematic survey through space rather than
chronologically through time. The juxtapositions presented generate a
new, keener understanding, both intellectually and affectively, of this
historic era that resulted in links among continents that forever
changed the character of the relationships between the world’s cultures.
