About the book >.>.> In this beautifully produced catalogue an international team of scholars has collabo- rated to provide new insights into 16th- and 17th-century Emilian painting. Over 200 paintings are reproduced and discussed in detail; the entries are accompanied by longer essays that address important the- matic issues. The volume accompanies an international loan exhibition seen at the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna the Na- tional Gallery of Art Washington and the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York and is also a timeless reference work. “The Age of Correggio and the Carracci: Emilian Painting of the 16th and 17th Centuries should go a long way toward defining why the 1980’s have been so attracted to 17th- century art. Organized by the National Gallery the Metropolitan and the Pina- coteca Nazionale in Bologna the show will include about 200 paintings from the Emilian centers Parma Ferrara and Bolo- gna. The opportunity to see together in the United States so many works from this period and to measure the contribu- tions of Annibale Agostino and Ludovico Carracci by seeing their paintings in the context of Correggio Parmigianino Guercino and Guido Reni is not likely to come again.” The New York Times (OS)
