Volume 3 (1968)
Edited by John Maxon
Museum Studies collects serious studies of works of art in the Art Institute of Chicago. It has long been felt that the scholarly obligation of a great museum can only adequately be met by such an annual publication. We have invited distinguished specialists to join our staff in preparing these studies. This issue includes a consideration of a Ming Dynasty Chinese cast-iron sculpture of a deity’s head, a comparative evaluation of two Italian cassone panels by the “Master of Apollo and Daphne” depicting the story of Susanna and the elders, an introduction to a newly-acquired Italian majolica wine cooler, a study of popular subjects in the work of Edouard Manet, an analysis of musical influences in the work of Paul Klee, and an examination of a medieval embroidered altarpiece from Burgo de Osma.
