This exhibition is no longer on view at the National Gallery.

Overview: 14 original architectural models surviving from the Italian Renaissance were shown together with 67 related paintings, drawings, prints, manuscripts, and medals gathered from museums in Europe and the United States. The exhibition included the largest extant Renaissance model, Francesco da Sangallo's design for Saint Peter's in Rome. The exhibition was a modified version of the show presented earlier at the Palazzo Grassi, Venice.
