Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Achillito Chiesa Collection, Vol. 1: Flemish and Dutch Paintings and Italian Primitives Finally the Government relinquished its hold and the way was opened for the disposal of the Collection. It was decided to send it to America as the great art market of the world, and the American Art Association, Incorporated, was selected as manager of the auction, strictly on the usual commission basis. The Collection is so large that its dispersal at one sale is impracticable on numerous grounds, and there will be several sessions at different dates. The first will be a single evening's sale of some three score Italian, Dutch, Spanish, French and Flemish paintings, comprising a display of higher quality than has been offered in New York in recent years. Byzantine art, Italian Primitives and Renaissance painters, and the fascinating Dutchmen of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; now and again a Spaniard or a Frenchman or an Englishman, some as late as the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. The paintings have been catalogued in Europe for this sale, those of the Dutch and Flemish schools by Hofstede de Groot, the recognized Dutch expert, and by G. J. Hoogewerff, Director of the National Holland School of Fine Arts in Rome, and those of the Italian School by Giacomo De Nicola, Director of the Bargello Museum, Florence. Some have been passed upon by Bernard Berenson. The Chiesa Collection has been Visited, and revisited, by American collectors and picture buyers, some of whom heard of it and of itspossessor upon learning that desired and sought-after canvases which they found in the galleries of European dealers had already been bespoken by Mr. Chiesa. And once he had them they were not again to be bought - until now. Some notable and coveted canvases were loaned to friends - and recovered with difficulty. Some, loaned to museums, have been mentioned and commented upon in conspicuous and conservative guide books.

Download or read book Maiolica Italian Renaissance Ceramics in the Metropolitan Museum of Art written by Timothy Wilson and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The form of tin-glazed earthenware known as maiolica reveals much about the culture and spirit of Renaissance Italy. Engagingly decorative, often spectacularly colorful, sometimes whimsical or frankly bawdy, these magnificent objects, which were generally made for use rather than simple ornamentation, present a fascinating glimpse into the realities of daily life. Though not as well known as Renaissance painting and sculpture, maiolica is also prized by collectors and amateurs of the decorative arts the world over. This volume offers highlights of the world-class collection of maiolica at the Metropolitan Museum. It presents 135 masterpieces that reflect more than four hundred years of exquisite artistry, ranging from early pieces from Pesaro—including an eight-figure group of the Lamentation, the largest, most ambitious piece of sculpture produced in a Renaissance maiolica workshop—to everyday objects such as albarelli (pharmacy jars), bella donna plates, and humorous genre scenes. Each piece has been newly photographed for this volume, and each is presented with a full discussion, provenance, exhibition history, publication history, notes on form and glaze, and condition report. Two essays by Timothy Wilson, widely considered the foremost scholar in the field, provide overviews of the history and technique of maiolica as well as an account of the formation of The Met's collection. Also featured is a wide-ranging introduction by Luke Syson that examines how the function of an object governed the visual and compositional choices made by the pottery painter. As the latest volume in The Met's series of decorative arts highlights, Maiolica is an invaluable resource for scholars and collectors as well as an absorbing general introduction to a multifaceted subject.

Download or read book European Art in the Columbia Museum of Art Including the Samuel H Kress Collection written by Columbia Museum of Art (1998) and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established in 1950, the Columbia Museum of Art is the only public museum in South Carolina with an extensive collection of international art. This is thanks in no small part to significant donations from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation between 1954 and 1974, which have made the museum one of the nation's major depositories of Kress gifts of art. This catalogue serves as a striking visual reference to the museum's holdings in European art from the late Gothic period to the end of the Renaissance and includes paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, decorative bronzes, furniture, ceramics, stained glass, and textiles. In all, eighty-four pieces are presented in color illustrations and detailed in an art historical context to benefit scholars and researchers as well as interested museum visitors. Fifty-six works of Renaissance art--several by such prominent figures as Bernardo Daddi, Sandro Botticelli, Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio, Andrea Solario, Mariotto Albertinelli, Albrecht Dürer, Parmigianino, Ambrosius Benson, Alessandro Allori, François Clouet, and Jacopo Tintoretto--are described by accomplished art historian Charles R. Mack and a team of researchers in catalogue essays that each provide an in-depth consideration of the artist's biography and contribution, the work, its provenance, and its history of attributions, ownership, and exhibition. The entries also describe such matters as condition, conservation history, and, in the case of paintings, the authenticity of frames. Arranged in chronological order by date of execution, the pieces in this section represent most of the museum's Kress materials. An additional twenty-six pieces are more briefly described in an illustrated checklist. The volume also includes an essay on the formation and distribution of the Kress Collection and an essay on the history of medieval and Renaissance art, with particular attention paid to the museum's holdings. The catalogue concludes with three appendixes treating changes in attribution, the correlation of museum inventory numbers with catalogue numbers, and the correlation of 1962 Kress Collection catalogue numbers with new catalogue numbers.
