GIFT OF A DELLA ROBBlA.
TUE pRooKLYN INSTITUTE MUSEUM EN-
RICHED BY A. AUGUSTUS HEALA'

,,>,,o,.r PLACE IN ART OCCUPIED by THE FAM
NY OF FroRENTINE ARTIsTs-A PROCESS
THAT DIED WITH THEN.
The careful preparations for the worthy 8Nii-
,,,,or of A Augustus Healy's latest gift TO 'he
urooL,vp Institute Museum were finally com
,,o,oa on March Is Experts and critics as
,..u as the general public. are now invited 10
oxar,ne an important work Of Italian art
Various announcements have been made al al
,sren, times as TO the fact Of the gift OF Deha
pohhia relief but nc examination OF the WORK
itself and consequently no proper appreciation
y, us value. has been possible till now.
During Mr. Healy's customary annual visit 10
Florence last summer he was advised OF the
nossibility OF purchasing a relief by Giovanni
Della Robbia at the Villa Antnori, near that
city. Since 1927 this relief has been in the pos
session OF the Antinor family. for whom Il was
originally made in that year. as one Of the deco
rations Of their villa. The purchase was sue
cessfully achieved, and the greater difficulty
was also overcome Of procuring the consent OF
the Italian Government to the shipment away
from Italy.
The relief which is OF enamelled terra Gotta.
and in dimensions about ten feet wide by three
feet high. represents the Resurrection IT
was originally placed above one Of the entrance
doors Of the villa. and corresponds in shape TO
the semi circular pediment whose space il once
filled. The name Of 'lunette" is commonly ap-
New-York tribune., 1899-03-26

1ied TO such a curvilnear pedment space, ana
is consequently applied to the relief itself
The artist. Giovanni Della Robbia, was a
member Of the famous family to which 'he
manufacture Of such enamelled terra Gotta re-
liefs was almost wholly confined. and Of their
work as a whole II will be we'll TO say word
or two That their art is now a lost one Is bet
ter known to the expert than il is to the general
nubllc This is Of course one OF the reasons
for pricing the gift Of Mr.. Healy No similar
reliefs have been made since the sixteenth cen
,urv. and the artist Of this Resurrection" was
the last 10 practise this work in perfection. On
the other hand none Of these works are earlier
than the beginning OF the fifteenth century. In
fact the year 1446 marks the earliest Of the
Robbia reliefs by Luca, and as Giovanni died in
1929 II follows that the space Of less than
ninety wears will cover all the extant works Of
quotable Importance.
That this time OF activity in the given art
was the greatest period Of Italian art as a whole
Is also a matter Of importance, as It determines
the style and quality OF design and composition
The Robba reefs are thus not only unique
in their material. but also in their period and
style Finally. the number Of important exam
pies of this art which have found their way to
Northern Europe is limited, and in Italy itself
they are wholly confined to the territory Of
Tuscany. In the United States there Is only
one other important Robbia relief the one
which was presented to the Metropolitan Mu-
scum some years ago by II. q. Marquand at a
cost Of $1,000
The subject matter Of these relicfs is almost
New-York tribune., 1899-03-26

Although it is a common mistake to mention
Luca as having confined himself 10 Whlte ana
blue or violet enamel it is undoubtedly true
that Giovanni made a much wider use OF coIor
than his relatives and predecessors. The Brook-
lvn relief shows the following ColOrs: White.
blue. green yellow and light and dark brown.
This relief is in fact wholly pictorial in quality.
and is a translation into cOlOred terra-cotd OF
the traditional Italian subject OF the Resurrec-
tion.
At the base of the relief the upper part Of the
tomb is visible. Above this rises figure or the
Saviour At his right kneels the Marquis Anti
nori according TO the traditional method or IN
Producing the donor Of a Votive Offering INTO
its subject matter. On either side are figures
Of the reused and frightened Roman soldiers
while another soldier is still sleeping, ana ABOVE
are two attendant angels.
The lunette is framed in a richly designed
garland OF flowers. fruit and foliage. on when
small animals and birds are also represented
This border is highly Characteristic of the work
Of Giovanni. The arms Of the Antlnon family
arc represented at its two outer angles.
The present situation Of Giovannis rellef IN
the Brooklyn Museum is above the entrance
door to the trustees room on the first floor. III
is framed in rich setting OF terra-cotta colored
Velours. and a broad curtain Of the same ma
terial. which hangs directly beneath II. serves
to give the proper contrast and relef 10 the
