Don't miss this historic exhibition featuring one of Italy's finest Baroque painters, In the Light of Naples: The Art of Francesco de Mura guest curated by Arthur Blumenthal. The show, organized by the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College in Winter Park, FL, opens September 16, 2016 then travels to the Chazen Museum of Art at the University of Wisconsin and Vassar College's Loeb Art Center. Featuring loans from major Italian museums and masterpieces from the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and others, this exhibition honors the loss of one-third of De Mura's works in the World War II Allied bombing of the abbey at Monte Cassino, Italy.
