Reviews

"Although Castiglione is a big name in seventeenth-century Italian art, even fans of the period might have trouble associating him with a particular artwork. One of the most technically accomplished draftsmen of the Baroque period, he has unaccountably fallen from recognition in the modern era. But this exhibition, provocatively subtitled 'Lost Genius' seeks to correct that oversight. . . . Taken together, the works in this splendidly conceived exhibition demonstrate that Castiglione was a major figure in art history."-- "ArtNews, on the exhibition" (4/22/2014 12:00:00 AM)

"Fascinating, from beginning to end. . . . Looking at the works, it's easy to see why Castiglione was popular in his day and to guess why he faded into relative obscurity after he died. He was a difficult soul, according to the curators, a lawbreaker, shady businessman, perhaps even a violent criminal. His personal reputation suffered along with his legacy. . . . Instead, he is survived by questions--and a few boosters in the local museum community who believe in his brilliance. Now, they just have to convince the rest of the world."-- "Denver Post, on the exhibition" (8/31/2015 12:00:00 AM)
