Its burghers and nobles demanded art to match. The curators of this show have not stinted on what one might call the oo-ah side--the gold- and silverwork, the enamels and tiny carvings, the intricate chalices and aquamaniles that expressed the patrician sumptuousness of the city's religious and secular life.
