The exhibition of early Italian
engravings at the National Gal
lery of Art is the first comprehen-
sive show in this field In "a years
the last having been held in 1915
in the Fogg Museum Of Art at
Harvard University. AS mentioned
last Sunday, the current display
was arranged to celebrate the
publication. under National Gal
lery imprint, Of the definitive cata-
logue in four volumes Of EARLY
Italian Engraving" by Arthur M
Hind, former keeper of prints and
drawings in the British Museum
who came here for the opening OF
the show last Sunday and lee
tured about it to a capacity audi
ence at the National Gallery.
The opportunity to see an ex-
hibition of such scope as to be Of
fered only at infrequent intervals
of decades rather than years
should be sufficient to draw to the
National Gallery every art lover
who isn't bedridden. The primary
reason to visit the show. OF course
is the rarity, Importance and quail
ity of the prints themselves. Many
outstanding items have been ac-
uuired by American museums and
collectors since the Fogg Museum
show. Their generous co-opera-
ton has made the National Gal
lery's show possible in its impress
sive dimension. Washingtonians
will be interested to know that OF
the 104 italian engravings on view,
more than half belong to the Ma
tional Gallery. approximately 30
of them in the Rosenwald collec-
ton, the others being anonymous
gifts. The Museum Of Fine Arts,
Boston, lent 18, the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, New York City,
IL, the Art Institute Of Chicago,
the Cleveland Museums. the Fogg
Museum, Harvard and the Rhode
Island School of Design, Provi-
dence, / to s each. while 8 came
from anonymous lenders.
The exhibition follows the gen.
eral chronology Of Mr.. Kinds
book, beginning with the engrav-
tngs, mostly anonymous, made II,
Florence from the middle to the
end Of the 18th century. The sec
ond part comprises engravings
made in the north, centering
around Mantegna and the Vene-
tian artists.
One Of the earliest known Ital-
ian engravings. a "St. Jerome IN
Penitence," made C. 1850, lis hung
in the first bay of the exhibition
gallery (to the right as one en-
ters. Another outstanding rarity
is an oval print representing
judith, With the Head OF Holo-
fe.2-s." belongs to a group of en-
cravings known as Otto-prints, all
made in one Florentine workshop,
and intended as decorations for
the covers of toilet or work boxes
for ladies.
The one great plate signed by
Pollaiuolo, THE Battle Of the
Naked Men," Is also to be seen,
In an exceptional impression. An
other outstanding exhibit in the
first section is the large oblong
engraving, Last Supper" by Lu-
cantonio degli Uberti. copy Of q
