The Age of Correggio and the Carracci: Emilian Painting of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
Overview: 79 paintings created in the northern Italian province between 1500 and 1700 were shown. John Pope-Hennessy of the Metropolitan Museum in New York chose the 16th-century Emilian paintings, Sydney Freedberg of the National Gallery chose the 17th-century works, and Andrea Emiliani of the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Bologna oversaw negotiations and loans in Italy. Each venue showed a slight variation of the exhibition.
Beverly Louise Brown and Sydney J. Freedberg designed the exhibition for the National Gallery. The exhibition was supported in part by the Montedison Group, Alitalia, the Italian-American Cultural Institution, and by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
