Exhibition Title
Gods and mortals, subjects derived from ancient narratives
Exhibition Description
Gods and mortals explore ways in which artists have depicted subjects derived from narratives in Greek and Roman mythology-beautiful, dramatic subjects that help us think about power, justice, heroes, and right living. Such drawings offer a window into creativity, imagination, and the importance of subjects to artists. Viewers are encouraged to ponder the specific narrative moments chosen by artists that inspired them to create by visiting our Focus and MDNY2021 pages at decouvertfineart.com. Viewers here can expect to see works by or attributed to Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, Jan Roos, Jacob Toorenvliet, Francois Boitard, Claude L. Desrais, Vincenzo Camuccini, Giuseppe Caleti, Marten de Vos, Paolo de Matteis, Filippo d’Angeli, Charles Eisen, Angelo Michel Colonna, Johann Michael Rottmayer, Giovanni Mauro Delle Rovere, Aureliano Milani, and others. Also included are various new acquisitions and other works we think deserve the attention of the broader virtual audience. A highlight of the exhibition is a work by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione from the collection of Dr. Timothy J. Standring, Curator Emeritus, Denver Art Museum.

About The Gallery
Guided by ideas about beauty, we opened our Rockport gallery in 2012, and have curated exhibits for MDNY since 2016. We strive to improve our inventory and our understanding of it, reaching out regularly to art historians, curators, auction houses, dealer colleagues, and collectors. We measure our success through educating the public about drawings, acquiring new pieces, and sales to both private and public collections. Each year brings new challenges. 2021 marks our first virtual exhibit and opportunity to represent a major work from a collector whose connoisseurship is widely known, Dr. Timothy J. Standring, Curator Emeritus, Denver Art Museum. Our endeavors as gallerists have been, and remain, gratifying and meaningful beyond our expectations. --Steven Law and Donald Stroud
