Katherine Smith Abbott, Wendy Watson, Andrea Rothe, and Jeanne RotheIntroduction by Laurence B. Kanter

Generously illustrated exhibition catalogue explores the demand for and production of devotional works in early fifteenth-century Italy

At heart a collaborative venture, the creation of early !fteenth-century panel paintings in Italy depended upon a tight network of connections between patrons, painters, woodworkers, and gilders.

"is exhibition catalogue illustrates works in ten di#erent collections and explores how these objects were made and what they reveal to us about those who produced and owned them. Featured artists include: Giovanni del Biondo, Giovanni dal Ponte, Gentile da Fabriano, and Lippo d’Andrea.

“"is book explores in depth three extremely valuable perspectives on the Jewish encounter with modernity: its initial reception, its coded meanings and its more recent a$rmation. From the perspective of the twenty !rst century, it is especially valuable to understand both the early attrac-tion of modernism for Jewish artists and intellectuals and to be reminded of the virulent attacks on those Jews who embraced modernism. "ese essays, written with passion and erudition, reveal a pattern of discriminatory attitudes that it would be wise not to forget.” —Ruth Weisberg, Dean, Roski School of Fine Arts, University of Southern California

“Of all the notable artists who have lived and worked in Connecticut over the years, few of the most deserving have received less public recognition than Charles Ethan Porter (1847-1923).

"e ‘ruins’ encompass not only empty mansions but also the detritus of commerce: cement mines, gargantuan icehouses, the submerged hulks of steamboats, even an early electric-power station. "ese histories are individually riveting and cumulatively alarming.
