Louisa C. Matthew, associate professor of visual arts and department chair, recently co-wrote an essay, with Barbara Berrie, for the catalogue of a major new international exhibition opening at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., this spring.
“Bellini, Giorgione, Titian, and the Renaissance of Venetian Painting,” which runs June 18 through Sept. 17, will present more than 50 masterpieces from what is regarded as the most exciting period of the Renaissance in Venice. T
he fully illustrated catalogue, which will be published in English and German, is an outgrowth of Matthew's ongoing research on Venetian paintings of the Renaissance period and her collaboration with Berrie, senior conservation scientist at the National Gallery.
The exhibit will travel to the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna in the fall.
