Venetian masterpiece The Rape of Europa found in the National Gallery’s basement

Friday, March 28th, 2008

The National Gallery has a masterpiece of the 16th century, he did not know he had. One of his paintings, it has long rejected as a copy, which allows its subsoil of the floor are for the main art galleries, having assigned to Veronese, the Venetian masters.

The Rape of Europe is seen in a new light after a long, clean and in the depth of research by the new director of the National Gallery, Nicholas Penny. Dr. Penny, the Post Office has over the last month, said: “It has been neglected. It proved to me is a look back.”

The Rape of Europe was released in the form of copies since 1913, when he was gunned down in the gallery of the sixpenny “illustrated catalogue”, which deal with the “Veronese school.”

Dr. Penny was particularly fascinated by the work, as in the collections of Emperor Rudolf II and Queen Christina of Sweden, who both for their important institutions of Venetian art.

Penny on the lookout for the painting began by writing a scientific book, it began 15 years ago, as the National Gallery’s curator of the Clore Renaissance painting.

In the book, The Sixteenth Century Italian Painting, volume 2 1540-1600 Venice, he wrote: “After cleaning, painting and palette of the art were announced as a characteristic of Veronese and pentimenti and handling of find the kind of original work.

“A slight Taktlosigkeiten in the composition, as shown by the example of the improper positioning of two cows, along with other works by Veronese.

Perry was a leader of the sculpture conservator at the National Gallery of Art in Washington from 2002 to 2007. His American experience inspired him recognition of the National Gallery wedding must be proactive and advertising collectors of old masters, perhaps at a given time loan and leave important works of the institution.

“This is not really a part of the National Gallery of history,” he said. “There is no reason why not. London is a center of art and collectors, many important Residencies here.

He added that the gallery can play a role of inspiration and gather young collectors and old masters, art history, courses in universities have for too long too much emphasis on contemporary art.

The balance must be changed, he said: “I want people who are simply bizarre to be interested in contemporary art. Gens, collectors of modern art in the early 20th century, have never been willing to ignore what might be in the National Gallery. ”

The gallery also has to be proactive in seeking more collections of European paintings, he said. Too often, he feels, he simply waited Painting “for the pop-ups on the road” in the salerooms.
