Moroni in the Burlington Magazine
Giovanni Battista Moroni, Portrait of Giovanni Gerolamo Albani, c. 1568+70, private collection
This month’s issue of The Burlington Magazine includes my review of the Royal Academy’s exhibition of the work of sixteenth-century Italian painter Giovanni Battista Moroni, curated by Simone Facchinetti and Arturo Galansino. It really is an excellent show of a now overlooked painter and I cannot recommend it enough. It closes this Sunday , so you still have a chance of seeing it, if you haven’t already.
