...days, more than 25.000 visitors trooped (admission: free) into the refurbished picture galleries on Manhattan's upper Fifth Avenue to enjoy one of the world's greatest collections of European paintings. The richness and the variety of the collection of 700 paintings, ranging from medieval Italian and Flemish primitives to Picasso and Matisse, brought a common reaction: "Why I never knew that...
...Fredericksburg, people started to file into the exhibit 20 at a time (admission free). Over the truck's P.A. system came 17th century harpsichord music to set the mood for the show, followed by a recorded lecture. On exhibit were sixteen 15th to 17th century Dutch and Flemish paintings, including such masterpieces as Hieronymous Bosch's Temptation of St. Anthony, Aelbert Cuyp's Horsemen Halting on a Road, Pieter Bruegel's The Carnival. Next week the artmobile will take off on a statewide tour (possibly three years) with stops planned so that no Virginian will have...

"And, let's see, Flemish and Dutch and Swedish." began to stretch...
...historians once maintained that Antonello traveled to Bruges to discover the oil painting technique developed by Jan van Eyck. More likely he learned it in Naples, from a copyist of Flemish paintings. For a year (1475-76) he taught the technique in Venice, where even the great Giovanni Bellini was eager to learn from him. What Antonello brought to Bellini (and through him, to Titian, Giorgione and Italian art in general) was nothing less than a new tool for rendering light. Having accomplished that, he returned to Messina...
