The inventory catalogue of collection holdings, compiled by the long-serving Paintings Gallery custodian Martina Fleischer, covers works from Romanesque schools from the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries. The works include panel paintings by Simone da Bologna, Antonio da Fabriano, and Sandro Botticelli, Titian’s late work Tarquin and Lucretia, Giambattista Tiepolo’s bozzetto Phaeton and Apollo, and the in total eight views of Venice by Francesco Guardi. Highlights among the French works include the two rare pastoral landscapes by Claude Lorrain and Pierre Subleyras’ Studio picture painted on both sides, while the Spanish schools include Murillo’s Two Boys Playing Dice and the sketch in oils for Foundation of the Tritinarian Order by Carreño de Miranda. More than a third of the texts are complemented by hitherto unpublished results of research undertaken by the Institute for Natural Sciences and Technologies in Art at the Academy, including x-radiographs and infrared reflectography.
