Art in Spain and the Hispanic World: Essays in Honor of Jonathan Brown
ed. by Sarah Schroth
Paul Holberton Publishing, London, in association with Center for Spain in America |
| |
CSA sponsors the publication of this Festschrift for Jonathan Brown, the fruit of the symposium that was held at the Frick Collection and the Institute of Fine Arts in New York in May 2008, at the initiative of a group of close colleagues and former students wishing to celebrate his scholarship and his generosity as a teacher. This series of essays by 15 scholars whose work and methods are indebted to his studies provide an eloquent testimony to how widespread Brown’s influence has been on recent generations of historians of the art of the Hispanic world. |

Codices from the Sistine Chapel: Illuminated Manuscripts in Spanish Collections
|
| |
The exhibition displays a group of illuminated manuscripts which come from the Sacristy of the Sistine Chapel. They were dispersed during the French occupation of Rome and acquired by Cardinal Francisco de Lorenzana, who as Archbishop of Toledo donated them to the cathedral library; they have remained there till the present day. For the first time this collection of great art-historical value has been catalogued and studied, and is presented with liturgical objects belonging to the Cardinal and other items that situate the collection in its original context.
The Meadows Museum is the only venue of the exhibition outside of Spain after its display in the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid (October 20, 2010 through January 9, 2011)
Exhibition curators: Elena De Laurentiis and Emilia Anna Talamo
Organized by: Biblioteca Nacional de España, Madrid; Centro de Estudios Europa Hispánica, Madrid; Cabildo de la Catedral de Toledo; Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University, Dallas.
