The Art of Francesco de Mura
April 21-July 2, 2017
Francesco de Mura (1696-1782) could be termed the last great painter of the Baroque and Rococo periods. Active in Naples, his work included elaborate palace and church decorations as well as smaller portraits, biblical, and historical paintings. This exhibition, organized by the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida, and underwritten by Christie’s, New York, includes over forty loans from Italian collections as well as those from the U.S. including the Metropolitan Museum, Art Institute of Chicago, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.
