Renaissance, Romanticism, and Rebellion: European Art from the Smith-Naifeh Collection - October 11, 2025 - February 22, 2026
www.mintmuseum.org/exhibition/renaissance-romanticism-and...
Spanning the dynamic artistic landscape of 19th-century Europe, these works trace a period marked by dramatic cultural, social, and aesthetic transformation. Drawn entirely from the acclaimed Smith-Naifeh Collection—assembled over decades by South Carolina-based collectors and scholars Gregory Smith and Steven Naifeh—this exhibition highlights the extraordinary range of innovation and expression that shaped European art during this pivotal century. Many of the artists represented were not only leaders of their time but also influenced or worked alongside artists such as Vincent van Gogh (about whom Smith and Naifeh wrote a critically acclaimed biography), leaving an enduring impact on the trajectory of modern art.
Organized thematically, the exhibition unfolds across three distinct sections:
Renaissance showcases artists who looked to classical antiquity and Renaissance ideals, emphasizing harmony, nature, and rigorous academic training, to craft works that aligned with the standards of prestigious European salons.
Romanticism explores the emotional depth and imaginative power of the era, with works designed to stir awe, empathy, and introspection through dramatic narratives and evocative landscapes.
Rebellion celebrates the avant-garde spirit of artists who challenged academic norms, embracing bold subjects and experimental techniques in brushwork and color that signaled the birth of modernism.

The Mint Museum is the largest visual arts institution in Charlotte and holds the largest public collection of Charlotte-born artist Romare Bearden's work.
The American Art collection comprises approximately 900 works created between the late 1700s and circa 1945. It includes portraiture of the Federal era, 19th century landscapes, and paintings from the group known as "The Eight" (Robert Henri, George Luks, William Glackens, John Sloan, Everett Shinn, Maurice Prendergast, Ernest Lawson, and Arthur Bowen Davies). Additional highlights in this area include works by John Singleton Copley, Gilbert Stuart, Thomas Sully, and Hudson River School painters Thomas Cole and Sanford Gifford.
The Art of the Ancient Americas collection includes roughly 2,000 objects from more than 40 cultures, spanning more than 4,500 years. The collection includes body adornments, tools, ceramic vessels, sculpture, textiles, and metal ornaments.
There are about 2,230 objects in the Mint's collection of Contemporary Art. These include the Bearden collection and other works on paper, contemporary sculpture, and photography from circa 1945 to the present.
The Mint's Decorative Arts collection, considered one of the finest in the country, centers on its holdings in ceramics. Containing more than 12,000 objects from 2000 B.C. to 1950 A.D., the collection includes a wide variety of ancient Chinese ceramics, 18th century European and English wares, American art pottery, and North Carolina pottery. The Mint has the largest and most comprehensive collection of North Carolina pottery in the nation. Its collection of North Carolina pottery comprises some 2,200 objects, dating from the 1700s.
The museum's Delhom collection, given to the Mint in 1966, contains 2,000 pieces of historic pottery and porcelain, as well as pre-Columbian pieces that are more than 4,500 years old.
Almost 10,000 items of men's, women's, and children's fashions from the early 18th century to present-day haute couture are included in the museum's collection of Historic Costume and Fashionable Dress, which approaches fashion as an art form.
