October 4, 2009 – February 7, 2010 at the Blanton Museum.  Head of St. Michael This fall the Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas at Austin is pleased to present Paolo Veronese: The Petrobelli Altarpiece. In 2008, the museum announced an important discovery regarding a work in the Blanton's collection by Venetian master Paolo Veronese (1528 - 1588). Head of an Angel, part of the museum's Suida-Manning Collection, had recently been identified as a fragment of a long-lost masterpiece by Veronese. The identification was made by Dr. Xavier Salomon, a Veronese expert and curator of the Dulwich Picture Gallery outside London. While conducting research for an upcoming exhibition, Salomon began to suspect that the Blanton painting was in fact the head of Saint Michael, the central figure in the so-called Petrobelli altarpiece, created around 1565, at the height of the artist's career. |
