Book Launch
Giorgio Vasari, Michelangelo and the Allegory of Patience by Carlo Falciani
READ MORE...
This book recounts the exciting rediscovery, story and documentation of The Klesch Collection’s painting, Allegory of Patience by Giorgio Vasari, painted in 1551-1552. The work was conceived with the help of Vasari’s close friend Michelangelo, as many surviving letters attest, and it quickly became famous and numerous copies were made, permeating the visual culture of Florence and beyond. This book carries full documentation of the work and its known copies, some of which can be traced to leading patrons in Renaissance Italy.
Giorgio Vasari, Michelangelo and the Allegory of Patience is available for purchase here, in both English and Italian.
The Klesch Collection is most grateful to the National Gallery for hosting this book launch. Below you can view a video of National Gallery’s Caroline Campbell, Director of Collections and Research, and Matthias Wivel, Curator of 16th-century Italian paintings, in conversation with Prof. Carlo Falciani about the painting and his book. Over time, we intend to have a research video available on each of our paintings.

SPONSORSHIP
the rubenianum fund
READ MORE...
The Rubenianum Fund was set up in 2010 in order to ensure that the Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard, the multi-volume catalogue raisonné of the oeuvre of Sir Peter Paul Rubens, is completed. Spanning 29 parts and about 50 volumes, it is without any doubt the most comprehensive publication ever devoted to a single artist. The books are based on the extensive documentation of the German art historian Dr. Ludwig Burchard (1886–1960), one of the most eminent Rubens specialists of the 20th century. Upon his death, his archive and personal library was donated to the City of Antwerp and the first volume of this project was published in 1968. The final volume in the series is expected to be published in 2023.
