The Edible Monument: The Art of Food for Festivals

Through March 13, 2016 | The Getty Center
Ornate architecture and edible sculptures were common features of early modern European festivals, but for the poor the highlight was the distribution of food. Printmaker Nikolaus Hogenberg's hand-colored etching of the procession celebrating the coronation of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in 1530—now on view as part of The Edible Monument—depicts such an event, with details of bread thrown to the poor and a feast of roasted ox.

Gallery tours will be offered on Thursdays at 2:00 p.m. through March 10, 2016.
