Fra Angelico, Botticelli…Rediscovered Masterpieces

From September 8th 2014 to January 4th 2016 the Domaine de Chantilly is honoring the prized collections of the Condé Museum with an exceptional exhibition of 14th and 15th century Italian paintings : “Fra Angelico, Botticelli…Rediscovered Masterpieces”.


Florentine and Sienese painters of the Quattrocentro, formally known as the Italian Primitives, make up a significant part of the legacy of the Duke d’Aumale, conserved exclusively at the Domaine de Chantilly since his death. For this exhibition, the first retrospective that the Condé Museum has dedicated to this movement… thirty major works from its collections – including paintings and drawings by Fra Angelico, Lippi, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci – will be presented in the reception hall of the Jeu de Paume, next to nine paintings on loan from leading international institutions.


In this vast space measuring 300m2, a free-flowing itinerary offers visitors a panorama of the history of 14th and 15th century Tuscan paintings. The scenography brings together original works by means of life-size, video-projected virtual reconstructions.











This exhibition brings certain works back together for the first time since the 15th century : the Thebaide by Fra Angelico, is thus presented in Chantilly thanks to loans by museums in Anvers, Cherbourg, Philadelphia and a private collection.








Two cassoni by Filippino Lippi and Sandro Botticelli illustrating Scenes from the Story of Esther and whose principal panels will be exhibited thanks to a loan by the Louvre Museum, are also at the heart of the exhibition. “Fra Angelico, Botticelli…Rediscovered Masterpieces” equally presents masterpieces of Italian painting and drawing from the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, such as the graphic works by Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, as well as

FREDERIC EDWIN CHURCH at AUCTION

Biography Frederic Edwin Church was born in Hartford, Connecticut, on May 4, 1826, the only son of a wealthy businessman. Although his father hoped he would become a physician or enter the world of business, Church persisted in his early desire to be a painter. In 1842-1843 he studied in Hartford with Alexander H. Emmons (1816-1879), a local landscape and portrait painter, and Benjamin H. Coe (1799-after 1883), a well-known drawing instructor. In 1844 Church's father, at last resigned to his son's choice of a career, arranged through his friend, the art patron Daniel Wadsworth, two years of study with Thomas Cole. Church was thus the first pupil accepted by America's leading landscape painter, a distinction that immediately gave him an advantage over other aspiring painters of his generation. From the first, Church showed a remarkable talent for drawing and a strong inclination to paint in a crisp, tightly focused style. In 1845 he made his...

Egon Schiele: The Radical Nude

23 October 2014 – 18 January 2015 The Courtauld Gallery is presenting the first major museum exhibition in over 20 years of one of the 20 th Century’s most exceptional artists, Egon Schiele (1890- 1918). A central figure of Viennese art in the turbulent years around the First World War, Schiele rose to prominence alongside his avant-garde contemporaries, such as Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka. He produced some of the most radical depictions of the human figure created in modern times, reinventing the subject for the 20 th Century. The exhibition charts Schiele’s short but transformative career  through one of his most important subjects – his extraordinary drawings and watercolours of male and female nudes. Egon Schiele: The Radical Nude concentrates on the artist’s drawings and watercolours. It brings together an outstanding selection of works that highlight Schiele’s technical virtuosity, highly original vision and uncompromising depiction of the naked figure. This sharply focu...
