Palazzo Barberini's Intimate Study Exhibitions Explore Collecting and Gothic Painting
Under the direction of Flaminia Gennari Sartori, Palazzo Barberini in Rome is hosting a 'study exhibition' that delves into the history of collecting and the works of anonymous Gothic artists. Featured prominently are collectors Edouard André and Nélie Jacquemart, whose collection is now part of the Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris, as well as Edith Abraham and Percy Selden Straus, who contributed to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. A dedicated room displays Andrea Mantegna's 'Ecce Homo' (ca. 1500) from the Jacquemart-André collection, alongside pieces by Giorgio Schiavone and Andrea Briosco. Additionally, the exhibition presents three Gothic Madonnas by anonymous artists, offering new insights into Gothic art.
