1927
The City of Manchester Art Gallery presented a loan exhibition of the Benson Collection’s Old Italian Masters in 1927. The documented selection includes Italian devotional paintings and portraits, with panels by artists associated with several regional schools. Examples securely identified in the museum’s object histories are Lippo Memmi’s Madonna and Child with Donor (1325/1330; tempera on panel) and Antonello da Messina’s Madonna and Child (c. 1475; oil and tempera on panel transferred from panel). The connected works form a partial checklist; exact opening and closing days are not established by this evidence.
