Wealth and Beauty: Pier Francesco Foschi and Painting in Renaissance Florence

We are pleased to have contributed two paintings and facilitated the loan of a third to the first monographic exhibition dedicated to the Florentine painter Pier Francesco di Jacopo Foschi. Curated by Nelda Damiano, “Wealth and Beauty: Pier Francesco Foschi and Painting in Renaissance Florence”  was held at the Georgia Museum of Art in Athens, Georgia, from January to April of this year.  A version of the exhibition will be presented at the Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence from 27 November 2023 to 10 March 2024.

The exhibition featured our Madonna and Child with Two Angels and Madonna and Child with the Infant St John the Baptist, as well as an alumnus of Robert Simon Fine Art, Foschi’s Judith and Holofernes.
