Antonio Mancini at Philadelphia Art Museum
An exhibition of the work of the early 20th century Italian artist Antonio Mancini is now open at the Philadelphia Art Museum and runs until January 20th, 2008. It's the first solo exhibition in the United States of Mancini's work (and I'm trying to figure out a way to get there and see it). When I was in Philadelphia a couple of months ago, this painting was exhibited and I got to see it up close, a real treat.
If anyone takes any photos of this exhibition I would really appreciate some photos posted in this thread, especially closeups.
Here is a link to the Museum's website: http://www.philamuseum.org/exhibitions/268.html

Quite by chance, I find myself in that part of the world this week . . . I have Friday and Saturday in Philadelphia, with definite plans to see the Mancini exhibit. Do you know for certain that it's permissible to take photos in the museum ? (a lot of 'em don't allow it) If they do, I'll sure take some!

Yikes. Richard, that was a good and precautious question; I read the rules online which say that no photography is allowed for special exhibitions (though this is not a ticketed exhibition). However, it looks like pencil (not pen) sketching is allowed for non-ticketed exhibitions. Here are the rules.
Anyway, if you go - please post your pencil sketches, Richard, I'd love to see them.

How do you do that ? I looked up the museum site, couldn't find that page . . . I always have a sketchbook with me, though

Mancini details:
Hi Linda and Richard,
I spent an hour searching for these shots I took last year at the PMA. They have two Mancinis (as of last year). I never heard of him before these were acquired, but the strength of his paintings have blown me away. The texture and application of paint is just incredible!
These are hand held shots, and I have sharpened them considerably to show the textures.
Richard, we will have to meet up tomorrow at the Mancini exhibit!
Linda, I hope these pictures entice you to come east soon. I believe these two paintings were painted in 1878, so that makes Antonio Mancini a late 19th century artist as well.
Garth
Check out those shoe details!

The glass bulbs are incredible. Apparently the second painting depicts the same boy model.
