Explore the Fogg Museum’s 14th–century masterworks and Greek sculpture studies. This edition highlights careful art-historical analysis of a pair of Greek heads from the Parthenon era, comparing them with a Borghese Ares and noting shifts from late fifth to early fourth century style. It also presents a detailed examination of Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s Crucifixion, including attribution, restoration, and the work’s place in fourteenth‑century Sienese painting. A notable section describes a Lokhoff reproduction of Benozzo Gozzoli’s Procession of the Magi, discussing the value of faithful copies for study when originals are at risk.
- See how scholars date works, assess stylistic development, and weigh attribution through close visual and historical comparison.
- Learn how restoration can reveal original color and structure, and how gilding and color choices convey mood in medieval altarpieces.
- Understand what makes a composition feel “spacious” and balanced, even in crowded scenes.
- Discover how reproductions can aid study of frescoes and provide safe access to important works.
Ideal for readers of museum catalogues and art history enthusiasts interested in Greek sculpture, Italian masters of the 14th century, and the curatorial decisions behind museum reporting.
