Favorite detail from the PICASSO & MIRO’ EXHIBITION Throughout the spring of 2018, the Grand Master’s Palace in #Valletta #MyMalta will open its doors to a remarkable collection of works by two major Spanish artists of the 20th century – Pablo #Picasso and Joan #Miró. The exhibition consists of a selection of 100 etchings from the Collection Suite Vollard that belongs to Fundación Map­fre and 40 paintings of Miro belonging to the Espacio Miró exhibition in Madrid. Fundación Map­fre is bringing this exhibition to Malta in collaboration with the Office of the President of Malta and Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti (FPM). The exhibition is entitled: The Flesh and the Spirit. Pablo Picasso’s Faun Revealing a Sleeping Woman is the last print in the series known as the Suite Vollard. This series was the culmination of the collaboration between Picasso and Ambroise Vollard (1865-1939), who had been his first dealer and for whom he had illustrated a number of books. It consists of one hundred prints made in the period 1930-7. Of these, ninety-seven were selected by Picasso and given to Vollard in exchange for a number of his early works; the remaining three were portraits of Vollard. Picasso used a range of techniques in this series, such as etching, aquatint, drypoint, wash, burin and scraper. He depicted a variety of themes, among which the sculptor in his studio and scenes from Greek mythology, particularly relating to the Minotaur, predominate. The definitive edition of the Suite Vollard was printed in 1939 by the Parisian printmaker Roger Lacourière. It consists of at least two or three artist’s proofs on Montval laid paper, three impressions on vellum paper, fifty impressions on Montval laid paper measuring 500 x 760 mm and 250 impressions on off-white Montval laid paper bearing the watermark ‘Vollard’ or ‘Picasso’. Made on 12 June 1936, this is the sixth and final state of Faun Revealing a Sleeping Woman. Although the image remained fundamentally the same through the six states, the simple black lines and negligible shading of the earlier states developed into rich tones of grey that depicted a night-time scene with a dramatic play of light and shade. The faun, however, underwent a major transformation, growing more striking and classical-looking with every state, and finally becoming, as Picasso cataloguer Brigitte Baer has described him, ‘a god-like personification of beauty.’ ©Blackpaint20

Catch if You Can: Canaletto, 1697-1768

Fans of the famed Venetian view painter Giovanni Antonio Canal, better known as Canaletto, should take note of “Canaletto, 1697-1768,” currently on view at the Museo di Roma/Palazzo Braschi. Offering one of the largest-ever exhibitions of Canaletto’s work, the showcase brings together compositions from major collections around the globe to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the artist’s death. 

The exhibition carries visitors through the key moments of evolution Canaletto’s career, from his early days associated with theatrical design to his rise to acclaim as one of the most celebrated painters of Venice’s picturesque skyline and structures. Throughout, visitors are treated to the intricate details of his work along with his ability to capture the city in its most perfect light, a fitting reminder as to why the Grand Tourists of his generation were so enamored with his work. Visitors also gain a sense of Canaletto’s time in England and his final years in Venice, where he painted until the very end of his life. The exhibition closes with a showcase of the final inventory of his estate, a humble document for so influential an artist.

“Canaletto, 1697-1768″ will remain on view until 19 August 2018. Visit the website of the Museo di Roma/Palazzo Braschi for additional details.

When archaeologists excavated the trove of Viking silver discovered by metal detector enthusiasts in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, in 2014, they unearthed more than 100 precious objects—silver ingots, solid gold and silver jewelry, glass beads—from multiple countries and cultures. Buried deep in a second excavated layer was a silver alloy pot with its lid still in place and sealed shut. The form and decoration of the vessel identified it as a piece of Carolingian manufacture made in western Europe between 780 and 900 CE.

Unfortunately, the silver alloy had some copper in it. As the copper eroded it weakened the pot. Opening the lid might destroy the entire thing, so archaeologists decided to have a CT scan done first, and check what was inside. The scans revealed an Anglo-Saxon openwork brooch, four more silver brooches, gold ingots, and ivory beads coated in gold, each piece individually wrapped in an organic material, perhaps a textile to protect it.

Anglo-Saxon jewelry inside a Carolingian pot, inside a Viking hoard, in Scotland. It’s a Russian nesting doll of an archaeological find!
