Museum Studies
Volume 9 (1978)
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 articles on a French Gothic ivory statuette depicting the Virgin and Child, a medieval English illuminated page depicting the Tree of Bigamy, a 17th-century embroidered chasuble after Andrea del Sarto’s The Baptism of the People, and the adaptations of Tasso’s poem La Gerusalemme Liberata by Giambattista Tiepolo and Gianantonio Guardi.
