The left page features a black-and-white reproduction of a drawing titled "HEAD BY PIAZZETTA," which depicts a woman wearing a headdress or veil. The drawing is detailed, showing the woman's face with a serene expression, and the texture of the veil is carefully rendered.
The right page contains a list of entries under the heading "ITALIAN SCHOOL," organized by anonymous masters and various artists. Each entry includes the artist's name, dates, and a brief description of the work. The artists mentioned include Bugiardini, Ferrari, Polidoro da Caravaggio, Piazza, Bronzino, Bassano, Tintoretto, Baroccio, Cambiaso, El Greco, Carracci, Cigoli, and Guercino. The list also includes the titles of their works and sometimes the collection from which the works are derived.
On the right margin of the right page, there is a small section of text that appears to be a transcript or note, dated December 2, 1931. The text discusses various artists and their techniques, mentioning names like Ghezzi, Luca Cambiaso, and Romany, and describes the use of different media and styles in their works. The note also mentions the exhibition's schedule, stating that it is open weekdays and Sunday afternoons, and closes on December 12.
This image displays two aged, off-white paper documents laid flat against a light grey background, likely pages from a catalog or exhibition booklet related to Italian Renaissance art.
The document on the left is page “3”, as indicated at the bottom center. It features a black-and-white photograph of a detailed drawing titled “HEAD BY PIAZZETTA” in small capital letters underneath the image. This sketch appears to be a chiaroscuro study of an elderly man’s head, rendered with expressive lines and shading to show deep wrinkles and a contemplative expression. To the right of the photograph is a column of typewritten text. The heading reads “ITALIAN SCHOOL BY ANONYMOUS MASTERS.” Below this is a numbered list of artists and their works, such as Bugiardini, Ferrari, Polidoro da Caravaggio, and Piazzetta, with attributions, dates, and locations (e.g., Florence, Venice, North Italy). This list spans from numbers 1-7 through 32-50, including detailed descriptions and provenance notes for some pieces, like “Number 6 seems to be by the same hand as a drawing... attributed to Pier Leone Gheri.” The list also includes El Greco and Carracci, ending with “GUERCINO” (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri).
The document on the right is a larger, slightly yellowed sheet of paper, partially underneath the left one. It contains a block of typewritten text, which appears to be a critical review or commentary on the exhibition. It praises the “space experience and brilliant insight of his great frescoes” and discusses artistic techniques such as “pen and brush drawings,” “hasty washes,” and the “brilliant white of the paper.” The text mentions specific artworks, including “Decapitation of St. John” and “Head of a Youth,” and notes the “excellent opportunity to study the varied facets of the widely different media.” In the lower right corner of this sheet, there is a handwritten note in black ink: “Transcript — Dec. 2, 1931”.
