Image: After Antonio Giorgetti (Italian c.1635-1669), Angel with the Sponge, 17th century. Baillieu Library Print Collection, gift of Dr J. Orde Poynton, 1959
The spotlight has been shone upon the approximately 100 drawings included in the Baillieu Library Print Collection - many of them gifted by Dr J. Orde Poynton in 1959 - by a series of research projects undertaken by participants in the Cultural Collections Projects Program. A selection of these exquisite drawings will be on display on the ground floor of the Baillieu Library from June 6th until July 24th 2016.
A rare opportunity to hear more about how the drawings were made, their attribution and their previous owners will take place with a lunch time presentation by Jessica Cole and Callum Reid. Jessica Cole is a gallery professional and will reveal her findings on a 17th century study of a stone sculpture which adorns the Ponte Sant’ Angelo in Rome. Callum Reid is a doctoral candidate and will speak about his discoveries into a fascinating study attributed to the 17th century French artist, Eustache Le Sueur (1617-55).
