Annual Report

Walters Art Museum (Baltimore, Md.)

This lavishly illustrated book introduces the general public and scholarly audience alike to one of the great collections of Italian paintings, with examples of major works dating from the 12th to the 18th centuries. The volume presents fifty paintings, many with color details and comparative illustrations. Introductions to each chronological section situate individual works of art within the artistic and stylistic developments of the period. Signature pieces featured in this volume include Virgin and Child with Saints and Angels , ca. 1340-45, by Pietro Lorenzetti; The Ideal City , ca. 1480-84, attributed to Fra Carnavale; Madonna and Child with Saints and Three Venetian Procurators , 1510 by Giovanni Bellini and workshop; Madonna of the Candelabra , ca. 1513, by Raphael and workshop; and Portrait of Countess Livia da Porto Thiene and Her Daughter Porzia , ca. 1551, by Veronese. Taken together, these paintings constitute a fabulous historical journey through seven centuries of Italian art. A select bibliography provides both standard reference sources and a selection of the most important recent books and articles on each work and artist featured in the book.

The twenty papers included in this volume were presented at an international symposium held in Baltimore and Washington in May, 1986. Planned to coincide with the exhibition of the two largest treasures of Early Byzantine church silver to survive from antiquity, the Kaper Koraon Treasure (found in Syria) and the Sion Treasure (found in Turkey), the symposium sought to place these and other church treasures in their broader contexts examining them from the point of view of economy, history, society, and manufacture. While a number of the papers focus on specific aspects of these two treasures--including six articles devoted to the Sion Treasure--others examine more general questions regarding silver mining, the manufacture of silver vessels, the state control of silver in Byzantium and the Sasanian Empire, the economic and cultural role of silver objects, and the financial power of the institutional church through its vast holdings of silver plate. The precedent offered by pagan cult treasures is also examined. To ensure a broad interdisciplinary approach, the eighteen authors are authorities in the fields of government administration, economic history, cultural history, art history, archaeology, epigraphy, science and conservation.

Papers of the Symposium Held May 16-18, 1986, at the Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore, and Dumbarton Oaks, Washington, D.C., Organized by Susan A. Boyd, Marlia Mundell Mango, and Gary Vikan
