New Haven
9 Sept 1987 – 12 Jun 1988
A Taste for Angels: Neapolitan Painting in North America 1650-1750 is documented at Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven; The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota; The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City in 1987–1988. The identified selection includes Francesco Solimena’s Venus at the Forge of Vulcan (1704; Oil on canvas) and Francesco Solimena’s Aurora Taking Leave of Tithonus (1704; Oil on canvas). The linked works form a partial checklist reconstructed from official museum object histories. The complete original catalogue and the remaining artworks require further research. This is one touring exhibition; each artwork connection is limited to the venue activities that document that work.
Images where available. Every entry keeps its exhibition evidence.
Creators identified in exhibition research. Individual work records show the available evidence.
