    e. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE COLLECTIONS OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART \YASHINGTON The National Gallery will open to the public on March 18, 1941. For the first time, the Mellon Collection, deeded to the Nation in 1937, and the Kress Collection, given in 1939, will be shown. Both collections are devoted exclusively to painting and sculpture. The Mellon Collection covers the principal European schools from about the year 1200 to the early XIX Century, and includes also a number of early American portraits. The Kress Collection exhibits only Italian painting and sculpture and illustrates the complete development of the Italian schools from the early XIII Century in Florence, Siena, and Rome to the last creative moment in Venice at the end of the XVIII Century. V.'hile these two great collections will occupy a large number of galleries, ample space has been left for future development. Mr. Joseph E. Videner has recently announced that the Videner Collection is destined for the National Gallery and it is expected that other gifts will soon be added to the National Collection. Even at the present time, the collections in scope and quality will make the National Gallery one of the richest treasure houses of art in the wor 1 d.

  • ISREC - Progetto Linea Gotica CERVIA
    ISREC - Progetto Linea Gotica CERVIA Denominazione: Comune di Cervia Tipologia: Comune Localizzazione: Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi 1 [44° 15’ 40” Nord – 12° 20’ 58” Est] Descrizione: Comune di 29.164 abitanti (dato al 29 febbraio 2012) situato a 20 km a sud di Ravenna, si affaccia sul mare con un litorale di 10 km caratterizzato da un arenile di sabbia finissima e da bassi fondali. Cervia, l’antica “città del sale”, con le sue località di Milano Marittima, Pinarella e Tagliata è oggi un rinomato centro turistico di fama internazionale. Nell’autunno del 1944, in questo tratto di riviera adriatica, dove il regime fascista aveva coltivato il sogno dell’“italica gioventù” nella costruzione d’imponenti colonie (si ricordano tra le tante gli stabilimenti “Montecatini” e “Varese” di Milano Marittima), i partigiani della 28a Brigata GAP “Mario Gordini” (Distaccamento “Settimio Garavini”) opposero una dura resistenza alle truppe di occupazione tedesca arroccate in città, riuscendo a convincere il Comando alleato a desistere dal proposito di raderla al suolo. Cervia fu liberata il 22 ottobre 1944 dalle forze partigiane e dalle truppe del 3° Reggimento Corazzato del I Corpo Canadese (3rd Canadian Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment).

These tribulations are best exemplified in the tale of Taddeo Zuccaro, a young lad who left his home on the eastern coast of Italy at the tender age of 14 to pursue a career as an artist in the great metropolis of Rome. His tenuous journey of starvation, deprivation, sickness, and ultimately triumph—sensitively recounted by his younger brother, Federico, who would himself become an artist of great significance—will be celebrated in a major international loan exhibition organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum. On view at the Getty Center, October 2, 2007 through January 6, 2008, Taddeo and Federico Zuccaro: Artist-Brothers in Renaissance Rome is the first exhibition devoted to the artist-brothers that focuses on their relationship and brings together some of their greatest drawings.

  • 1 Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the Universi
    Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Visual Culture In March 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature)…………………………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract The church of Santo Spirito in Florence is universally accepted as one of the architectural works of Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446). It is nevertheless surprising that contrary to such buildings as San Lorenzo or the Old Sacristy, the church has received relatively little scholarly attention. Most scholarship continues to rely upon the testimony of Brunelleschi’s earliest biographer, Antonio di Tuccio Manetti, to establish an administrative and artistic initiation date for the project in the middle of Brunelleschi’s career, around 1428. Through an exhaustive analysis of the biographer’s account, and subsequent comparison to the extant documentary evidence from the period, I have been able to establish that construction actually began at a considerably later date, around 1440. It is specifically during the two and half decades after Brunelleschi’s death in 1446 that very little is known about the proceedings of the project. A largely unpublished archival source which records the machinations of the Opera (works committee) of Santo Spirito from 1446-1461, sheds considerable light on the progress of construction during this period, as well as on the role of the Opera in the realization of the church.
