INTRODUCTION
INTEREST in Italian Art, like the Art itself, never dies. The seed sown by the makers of the Renaissance not only bore immediate fruit, but ensured a harvest ot lofty ideals tor all time. In each succeeding age Italy has taken her place in the van of artistic expression, and to-day her sculptors and painters are worthily maintaining the great traditions of the Latin race.
In view of this perennial interest in Italian Art, we trust that connoisseurs will appreciate the Exhibition we are now holding. Our representative has recently returned from Italy with many fine examples of Antique Furniture, Old Tapestries, Sculptured Marbles of historic interest. Bronzes of unique design, old Majolica ware. Lace (including a XVIth Century specimen from the collection of Prince Bellaprima), XVIth Century Cathedral A^estments embroidered with figures of saints, and Paintings by Old Masters. There is also an interesting collection of works by modern artists, including Pio Joris, Ricci, Corelli, Cipriani, Vertunni, Forti, Ferretti, Balla, Mariotti, Santoro, Mancini, and Filiberto Petiti, a work by the last of whom has been specially loaned to this exhibition by H.M, Queen Margherita, who is showing an interest in this introduction of the Modern Italian School to the English public.
This Catalogue deals with but a small portion of the exhibits. Only a visit to our Exhibition Gallery can give a proper idea of the scope, variety, beauty and value of the Collection as a whole. f^^-T^
