Cimabue and Early Italian Devotional Painting (an exhibition catalogue) [first edition]

In 2000, The Frick Collection's "Flagellation of Christ" was confirmed to be by the artist Cenni di Pepo (c. 1240-c. 1302), known as Cimabue, following the discovery of "The Virgin and Child Enthroned with Two Angels" (now in the National Gallery, London), a panel known to have been painted by the Florentine master. Visitors to the exhibition, presented from October 3 to December 31, 2006, had the rare opportunity to see these two panels side by side - the first time they have been together in America. A selection of panels, manuscripts, and verre églomisé (painted and gilded glass) were also on view, illustrating the various forms of small-scale devotional art with which Cimabue and his contemporaries experimented. This catalogue presents an in-depth essay on the artist Cimabue including biographic and technical information specific to the Flagellation painting in the Frick's collection.
