Museum Studies
Volume 5 (1970)
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 conservation discoveries regarding Frans Hals’ Portrait of a Lady; an examination of four cassone panel painting; an evaluation of a portrait of Hedwig of Brandenburg-Ansbach, which the author re-attributes to Hans Krell; a study of Hendrick van Steenwyck the Younger’s Aeneas Rescuing Anchises from Burning Troy; an investigation of a presumed portrait of Henry Gibbs of Newton; a history of two portraits by Mengs; notes on Sir Edward Burne-Jones’ designs for Pre-Raphaelite style stained glass; an introduction to a marble Madonna attributed to Antonio Tarsia; a re-attribution of the drawing The Family of St. John from Jean-Baptiste Jouvenet to Nicholas-Bernard Lépicié; and an interpretation of Greuze’s drawing The Paternal Blessing.
