Exhibition HistoryIn the Footsteps of Rembrandt: The Etching Revival in Britain and America, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, June 13-December 9, 2012, no cat., as Il Carcere, San Gimignano.
This view shows the prison in the same town, San Gimignano, as Louis Conrad Rosenberg’s Loggia della Podesta. In this case, town and country are mixed, with a sweeping panorama of the Tuscan countryside. The light suggests the beginning of the day, with the sun low down.
