Exhbitions covered include Nathaniel Honeâs 1775 exhibition, the Holbein Exhibition of 1871, the Courbet retrospective of 1882, Titian's exhibition in Venice, Poussin's Louvre retrospective of 1960, and El Greco's anniversaty exhibitions of 2014.



Trade Review

"All in all, Gahtan and Pegazzano have put together an excellent volume in which the authors have contributed a great deal of valuable art historical and museological content for our consideration. It is a book that will undoubtedly inspire further research by others, stimulate scholarly discourse, and lead to future publications of import."
