Cartonato. Condition: new. Venezia, Ca' Rezzonico, 7 marzo - 8 giugno 2026.A cura di Alberto Craievich.Cornuda, 2026; cartonato, pp. 136, ill. col., cm 23x28. Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian (Scutari, 1869 - Lisbona, 1955) è stato una dei protagonisti dell'imprenditoria e del collezionismo europeo fra Otto e Novecento. Di origine armena, sfuggì con la sua famiglia alle persecuzioni ottomane rifugiandosi prima a Il Cairo, poi a Londra, Parigi, e infine a Lisbona, dove rimase fino alla sua morte. Nelle sue collezioni troviamo una ricca selezione di opere d'arte classica, reperti egizi, oggetti di arte islamica, dipinti del Rinascimento italiano e fiammingo, quadri dei maggiori maestri del Seicento olandese, tra cui spiccano alcuni splendidi Rembrandt, arti decorative e dipinti del Settecento francese, gli immancabili impressionisti e una squisita selezione di manufatti di René Lalique di cui fu sincero ammiratore. Al gusto raffinato di Calouste Gulbenkian si deve anche la scelta di acquistare, tra 1907 e 1921, ben 19 dipinti di Francesco Guardi (Venezia, 1712-1793). Si tratta probabilmente della più importante raccolta al mondo di dipinti realizzati dal grande maestro. Nel volume I Guardi di Calouste Gulbenkian sono pubblicate le opere in mostra a Ca' Rezzonico, Museo del Settecento Veneziano (07 marzo - 08 giugno 2026): dipinti della collezione del Museo Calouste Gulbenkian e disegni provenienti dal Gabinetto dei disegni e delle stampe della Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia che, a sua volta, conserva il nucleo più numeroso di disegni di Guardi, e che consentono di ripercorrere il percorso creativo del pittore e di seguire l'evoluzione del suo personalissimo stile.

Brossura. Condition: new. Venezia, Ca' Rezzonico, Museo del Settecento Veneziano, 15 febbraio - 18 maggio 2020.Trento, 2020; br., pp. 136, ill. b/n e col., cm 23x28.(Studi e Ricerche). Le collezioni del Gabinetto dei disegni e delle stampe sono uno dei tesori della Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia. La consistenza è imponente: 50.000 stampe e 15.000 disegni. Con tali numeri anche questa semplice attività di manutenzione e verifica diventa un onere enorme. Gran parte delle opere su carta è giunta nelle nostre raccolte durante l'Ottocento attraverso 'ondate': i fondi Correr, Molin, Gherro, solo per citare alcuni dei più significativi. Il suo ordinamento è frutto quindi del gusto coevo. Al loro arrivo i fogli erano inventariati con precisione ma in molti casi venivano rifilati, incollati su ulteriori supporti, rilegati in album secondo tecniche o scuole. Gli antichi quaderni venivano così smembrati e i disegni o le stampe erano selezionate in base alla loro presunta importanza. Il gusto del tempo diventava un metro di giudizio insindacabile che portava all'attenzione una parte e relegava all'oblio l'altra, con le conseguenze che ciò comportava. In ogni caso, tale impegno ha permesso, ormai a quasi 200 anni dalla nascita dei Musei Civici, di tramandare un patrimonio che si presenta quasi quasi intatto, pur avendo attraversato calamità naturali ed eventi bellici. Libro.

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di E. Marchetti, Craievich A. e Granziero R.Trento, 2025; br., pp. 216, ill. col., cm 24x6.(Studi e Ricerche). Il Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe della Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia conserva una straordinaria testimonianza dell'arte e della cultura neoclassica in Italia. Si tratta dell'Album Cicognara, che prende il nome dal suo proprietario, il conte Leopoldo Cicognara, una delle personalità più affascinanti della sua epoca. Fu per lunghi anni presidente dell'Accademia di Belle Arti a Venezia, che contribuì a formare, e autore di due opere celebri: "Storia della scultura" e "Le fabbriche più cospicue di Venezia". Della stretta amicizia con gli artisti del suo tempo è testimonianza proprio questo album, una sorta di «liber amicorum» composto da 80 fogli e da una sontuosa legatura decorata. Vi troviamo tutti i nomi del Neoclassicismo italiano: Vincenzo Camuccini, Andrea Appiani, Giuseppe Bossi, il giovane Francesco Hayez; ma anche artisti francesi come François-Marius Granet, Lancelot-Théodore Turpin de Crissé e Louis Léopold Robert. Ben sei disegni appartengono all'amico di una vita: Antonio Canova, di cui Cicognara fu ammiratore appassionato. Questo prezioso volume viene per la prima volta esposto al pubblico dopo un accurato restauro promosso dalla Venice Foundation. Libro.
