"Since 1957, when Martin Davies published The French School, an unprecedented amount of research has been undertaken on French seventeenth-century artists. Taking account of this, Humphrey Wine has written afresh on the seventeenth-century paintings in Davies's catalogue; he has also written detailed entries on all subsequent acquisitions in this field. These include, as well as paintings by Claude and Poussin, major pictures such as La Hyre's Allegory of Grammar, the Le Nain brothers' Adoration of the Shepherds and Le Sueur's Alexander and his Doctor.".
Monsu Desiderio was the 17th century art enigma whose epic and phantasmic canvases are now believed to be the collaborative work of two or more Naples-based artists, principally Francois de Nome. De Nome/Desiderio’s hallucinatory paintings of biblical, historical and architectural scenes are marked by vast, decadent edifices which dwarf his human figures, who are often engaged in savage acts of cruelty and carnage mirrored in a mise-en-scene of ruination or imminent destruction. This special ebook collection of key works by Monsu Desiderio features over 40 full-colour paintings, including all of his best-known and most delirious masterpieces such as “The Head of St. John the Baptist Presented to Salome”, “The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha”, and “St. John the Evangelist Being Boiled in a Cauldron”.
This insightful volumes the use of imitation and the modern cult of originality through a consideration of the disparate fates of two Venetian painters - the canonised master Titian and his artistic heir, the little-known Padovanino.
Exhibition includes approximately 2% of the acquisitions made during the 1990s.
