Museum Studies
Volume 7 (1972)
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 contains essays on Leonardesque influences in Correggio’s Virgin and Child with the Infant St. John, the technical and historical details of a Madonna attributed to Maso da San Friano, Degas’ relationship to the work of Rembrandt, the distinctive Los Tuxtlas style of pre-Columbian ceramic painting, and a collection of 19th-century Swedish peasant bonader wall decorations.
