Museum Studies
Volume 6 (1971)
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 essays on eighteenth-century painting in Rome, a Renaissance relief attributed to Giovanni Caccini entitled The Bull of Perillus, two paintings of the interior of the Old Church in Delft by Emanuel de Witte and Gerrit Houckgeest, a pair of eighteenth-century Worcestor factory vases, Benjamin West’s early Romantic series St. Paul Shaking off the Viper, and a medieval German needlework fragment (the earliest in the Art Institute’s collection).
