Item description from seller

151 pages, illustrations (chiefly colour); 28 cm. Catalogue of an exhibition organized by the Phoenix Art Museum with the cooperation of the Soprintendenza speciale per il Polo museale napoletano, held at the Phoenix Art Museum, Phoenix, Arizona, December 10, 2006 to March 4, 2007. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "The 17th-century was a period of extraordinary achievement in Italian painting that placed Naples at the center of international artistic taste. The almost continuous artistic accomplishments in Naples at this time left an imprint on the history of European art. This exhibition catalog presents 50 paintings-including both familiar icons and many important works visiting North America for the first time-by such artists as Artemisia Gentileschi, Luca Giordano, Francesco Guarino, Salvatore Rosa, Jusepe De Ribera, and more. The paintings depict religious and secular subjects, still life, portraiture, and 17th-century city life in Naples, including the ravages of rebellion and plague, and the moments of great triumph. / Thomas Loughman is curator of European Art at the Phoenix Art Museum. He is a specialist in Italian Art and particularly interested in drawings, sculpture, and art patronage." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Introduction, by Thomas J. Loughman; Naples and the Baroque Period, by Giuseppe Galasso; Painting in Naples between reality and fantasy, by Nicola Spinosa; Catalogue of works. Size: 4to.
