Museum Studies
Volume 4 (1969)
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 offers essays discussing a thirteenth-century French Gothic Virgin of the Annunciation, a tondo entitled Virgin and Child with two Angels by Botticelli, four paintings by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo depicting scenes from Torquato Tasso’s Liberata, Edgar Degas’ Young Spartans Exercising and other works devoted to the Spartans, three easel paintings by Pierre-Cécile-Puvis de Chavannes, the eighteenth-century architectural fragments comprising the Howard Van Doren Shaw Memorial Collection, and three drawings by Venetian artist Jacopo Palma Giovane.
