Edited By Michael Sittenfeld
The Art Institute of Chicago Museum Studies, published twice annually, presents articles on the collections and history of the Art Institute. This issue is devoted to British art of the eighteenth to twentieth centuries. One article examines a dramatic biblical painting by the expatriate artiste Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg; another discusses a subtle and realistic portrait by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Other essays examine a previously unknown portrait study by James McNeill Whistler; a marvelous self-portrait in chalk by Joseph Wright of Derby; a masterpiece in silver by Omar Ramsden and Alwyn Carr; and a brooding self-portrait by Simeon Solomon, an artist who, like Rossetti, was active in the Pre-Raphaelite circle.
