The Young Velazquez - "The Education of the Virgin" Restored (Paperback)


Donated to the museum in 1925, the Yale University Art Gallery's Education of the Virgin-depicting Saint Anne teaching a young Virgin Mary to read-was long considered to be a work by an unknown Spanish artist. Considerably damaged, the painting was relegated to storage and never carefully studied until 2005, when John Marciari reattributed the work to Diego Velazquez (1599-1660), the most significant painter of the Spanish Golden Age. The extraordinary narrative of this painting and its reattribution is chronicled here, accompanied by a detailed description of the painting's conservation campaign and thoughtful analysis of the artist's technique. Distributed for the Yale University Art Gallery Exhibition Schedule: Espacio Santa Clara, Instituto de la Cultura y las Artes de Sevilla, Seville (10/15/14-01/15/15)
