Inspired Design: Love & Death takes its cue from the new Gallery publication Inspired Design: European and North American Decorative Arts. In the exhibition some of the ‘stars’ of the book have been thoughtfully curated alongside works from the European painting, sculpture and print collections in which artists from the Renaissance to the twentieth century have responded to the universal themes of love and death. Christianity and classical mythology offer fertile grounds for the progressive development of these themes. The first gallery looks at classical mythology and saints, the second explores the notion of time, and the third considers Christian devotional imagery. Classical mythology is investigated through works illustrating the Underworld, Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Diana the Huntress, Venus, Bacchus and Samson and Delilah. A range of works associated with the early depiction of saints and martyrs accompanies the Elizabethan embroidery Patience and the seven Christian virtues, c.1595.
