TENNESSEE---The fall museum season is the biggest of the year, and this one is particularly good for fans of Renaissance art. This week alone two exhibitions highlighting the period open in this part of the country, including "Sanctity Pictured: The Art of the Dominican and Franciscan Orders in Renaissance Italy" opening Friday at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. "Sanctity Pictured" remains on view through Jan. 25. The Frist Center is the exhibition's only venue. [link]
