Description
Book SynopsisCarl Brandon Strehlke, Adjunct Curator has prepared a scholarly examination of the Johnson Collection. His discussion of such art historical questions as dating and attribution combines extensive archival research with technical study of the paintings.
Trade Review“Scrupulous attention to condition and technique puts this catalog in a special category, with numerous diagrams and revelatory photographs bringing clarity to complex painting histories.”
—D. Pincus Choice
“This catalog of the Italian portion of the museum collection, including a small number of non-Johnson acquisitions, is masterfully done; it hits the same high standard as recent catalogs in this area from London and Washington exhibitions.”
—D. Pincus Choice
“This catalogue will be of great interest to the scholar, providing a vast amount of information, both visual and factual, particularly with regard to punch marks. It is a work to be celebrated and cherished.”
—Susan Martin The Art Book
“Although this is not the first catalog dedicated to the John G. Johnson Collection, adjunct curator Carl Brandon Strehlke has done here a wonderful job, in a lavish, hardcover book that can be considered as a model in the art book genre. I see Italian Paintings, 1250-1450 as one of the most beautiful art books published in the United States during 2004. Academics in art history and religious studies will be delighted by that reading.”
—Yves Laberge Heliotropia
“This handsome, lavishly illustrated, and meticulously researched volume is the first comprehensive and scholarly treatment of the collection and the collector.”
—Sara Nair James Sixteenth Century Journal
