The Alana Collection<\/h1>\r\n

Masterpieces of Italian painting<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"The
Alana Collection
Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9 Museum Paris<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

As we read in the exhibition brochure, the Alana Collection is one of the most valuable and little-known private collections of Italian Renaissance art<\/strong> in the world.
Just reading the names of the artists shown here will leave your mouth agape. \u00a0
Ready?\u00a0
First, the Florentine primitive artists like Beato Angelico, Filippo Lippi, Bernardo Daddi, Niccol\u00f2 di Pietro Gerini. \u00a0
<\/strong>The Sienese artists like Lorenzo Monaco, Luca di Tomm\u00e8. \u00a0
<\/strong>The Pisan painters, such as the unique Francesco Traini.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"The
Niccol\u00f2 di Pietro Gerini
Alana Collection<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Of course, there are the Tuscan Renaissance painters, such as Paolo Uccello, Franciabigio, Lo Scheggia<\/b>, and Umbrian painters like Luca Signorelli<\/a>, and greats like Carlo Dolci, Annibale Carracci, and Savoldo.<\/b><\/p>\r\n

\"The
Lorenzo Monaco
Alana Collection<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And, naturally, we couldn\u2019t do without great Venetian painters like Bellini, Vittore Carpaccio, Giacomo Bassano, Tintoretto, and Paolo Veronese,<\/b> and a pinch of Bronzino<\/b> and Orazio Gentileschi<\/strong>. \u00a0
Ok, we can catch our breath now<\/strong>. \u00a0 \u00a0
This museum-worthy collection is jaw-dropping, all the more if you consider that all of these works are shown together for the first time. \u00a0
It\u2019s definitely a show not to miss! \u00a0
The arrangement of the artworks impresses from the very first room.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"The
Beato Angelico
Saint Sixto
Alana Collection<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And, well, too bad for those who go to exhibitions to learn something or see new contributions to the field. \u00a0
But let\u2019s get back to this wonderful exhibition. \u00a0
There\u2019s something else here that makes us think: a panel in the exhibition bearing a sentence by Alvaro Saieh.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\"The
Alana Collection
Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9 Museum Paris<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

The art patron, with his wife Ana Guzm\u00e1n<\/strong> to whom we owe this exhibition. (By the by, it\u2019s the start of their names \u201cAl-Ana<\/strong>\u201d for which the collection is named.) \u00a0
The sentence reads:<\/p>\r\n

\u201c<\/em>I want to create a collection that is representative of Italian art of the Renaissance as well as the meaning that it can have for culture today”
<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Vaste chantier<\/em>, as they say in French about big undertakings. \u00a0
What meaning might Renaissance<\/strong> culture have today?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"The
Filippo Lippi
Alana Collection<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We\u2019ll leave you with this interesting question and bid you farewell until the next Magazine post.<\/p>\r\n
