The Paintings and Sculpture Given to the Nation by Mr. Kress and Mr
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. The paintings and sculpture given to the Nation by Mr. Kress and Mr. Mellon have been acquired from some of -2- the most famous private collections abroad; the Dreyfus Collection in Paris, the Barberini Collection in Rome, the Benson Collection in London, the Giovanelli Collection in Venice, to mention only a few. -

Pittura Di Luce a Brera
Pittura di luce a Brera La definizione “pittura di luce” è stata coniata dalla critica in anni recenti per descrivere una breve ma significativa stagione dell'arte centro italiana di metà Quattrocento, legata in particolare a Domenico Veneziano. In essa il rigore prospettico si unisce allo studio dei percorsi luminosi, i toni cromatici si schiariscono e le forme, rese attraverso volumi sintetici, misurano con la loro concreta presenza il contesto spaziale in cui sono inserite. La fucina di queste esperienze è Firenze, dove giungono artisti da ogni parte della Penisola, attratti dalle possibilità di lavoro accanto a maestri come Beato Angelico, Domenico Veneziano, Filippo Lippi. Anche Giovanni di Francesco del Cervelliera (il “Maestro di Pratovecchio”) si forma sui loro esempi, e la Madonna col Bambino appena acquistata dalla Pinacoteca di Brera ne è testimonianza. Questo percorso si svolge dunque fra dipinti braidensi che, come la tavola del Maestro di Pratovecchio, hanno (sia pure in modo e misura diversi) comuni riferimenti alla stagione fiorentina della “pittura di luce”. I documenti ci informano della presenza a Firenze, dal 1443, del pittore camerinese Giovanni Angelo d’Antonio. Nel suo polittico (7° decennio XV sec., Sala XXI) le figure umane, costruite attraverso volumi geometrizzanti, sono investite da una luce forte e diffusa. Sebbene le figure appaiano come compresse nello spazio limitato delle edicole, l’impostazione prospettica è studiata, in particolare nel trono scorciato della Vergine o, ad esempio, nel galero di San Gerolamo (estrema destra nel registro superiore): i due fiocchi scarlatti che pendono al di qua della mensola proiettano la propria ombra sul davanzale, misurando così la profondità dello spazio. -
Collaborative Painting Between Minds and Hands: Art Criticism, Connoisseurship, and Artistic Sodality in Early Modern Italy
Collaborative Painting Between Minds and Hands: Art Criticism, Connoisseurship, and Artistic Sodality in Early Modern Italy by Colin Alexander Murray A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Colin Murray 2016 Collaborative Painting Between Minds and Hands: Art Criticism, Connoisseurship, and Artistic Sodality in Early Modern Italy Colin Alexander Murray Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2016 Abstract The intention of this dissertation is to open up collaborative pictures to meaningful analysis by accessing the perspectives of early modern viewers. The Italian primary sources from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries yield a surprising amount of material indicating both common and changing habits of thought when viewers looked at multiple authorial hands working on an artistic project. It will be argued in the course of this dissertation that critics of the seventeenth century were particularly attentive to the practical conditions of collaboration as the embodiment of theory. At the heart of this broad discourse was a trope extolling painters for working with what appeared to be one hand, a figurative and adaptable expression combining the notion of the united corpo and the manifold meanings of the artist’s mano. Hardly insistent on uniformity or anonymity, writers generally believed that collaboration actualized the ideals of a range of social, cultural, theoretical, and cosmological models in which variously formed types of unity were thought to be fostered by the mutual support of the artists’ minds or souls. Further theories arose in response to Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo’s hypothesis in 1590 that the greatest painting would combine the most highly regarded old masters, each contributing their particular talents towards the whole. -

What would they have to say to each other? Would this be a dialogue, a lesson, an argument? Past Present establishes conversations between contemporary artists and the Allentown Art Museum’s Samuel H. Kress Collection. Art is always part of a larger conversation between artists and cultures, crossing time and place. The art of the past from all cultures has a direct influence on the creation of art in the present. Regardless of different styles and technologies, art can remain fresh through the ongoing discovery of looking. Nine artists working individually or collectively were invited to study the Kress collection and select a specific painting from it. These contemporary artists have created new works that exist in conversation with their Kress selection. In many cases these contemporary artists use very different tools, techniques and technologies than the Kress masters, but each has identified a common interest that they share with the artists of the past. -

ITALIAN RENAISSANCE PAINTING by Keith Roberts
ITALIAN Phaidon RENAISSANCE PAINTIN I •.'-• i^*^ fc F S6-95 ITALIAN RENAISSANCE PAINTING By Keith Roberts With 48 colour plates The Italian Renaissance was a creative epoch of unparalleled brilliance, particularly in the field of painting. It culminated with the works of the three undisputed giants of Italian art, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Michelangelo 1 475-1 564 and Raphael ( 1 483-1 520). Beginning with the heroic naturalism of Masaccio, who was one of the great Florentine masters of the early fifteenth century, the book surveys the whole of this remarkable era, ending with the glowing, richly coloured canvases of the great Venetian masters, Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese, in the second half of the sixteenth century. A short introduction to the period is followed by notes on the artists and on the works by which they are represented. \V< >t ks by all the major artists - Fra Angelico, Piero della Francesca, Bellini, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Michelangelo and Raphael are reproduced in this volume, as well as many by artists who are less well known but who also produced works of outstanding quality and beauty. Many of the plates have been juxtaposed so as to show how different artists treat a similar theme, whether it be a Madonna, a portrait or a landscape, and this often makes for fascinating comparisons. The book as a whole, by its judicious choice of illustrations, gives a well rounded and representative picture of a fascinating period in the historv of art.
