☆ Long-lost $26 million masterpiece found in kitchen heads to the Louvre after 4-year campaign
  + stars: | 2023-11-16 | by ( Jack Guy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
CNN —The Louvre Museum in Paris has added a “national treasure” to its collection four years after it was discovered during a house clearance. “Christ Mocked” by the Florentine painter Cimabue was found in an elderly woman’s house in the town of Compiegne in 2019. She had kept the rare artwork – which she thought was a Greek religious icon – in her kitchen. But the French government then stepped in to block its export, assigning the painting “national treasure” status. It will join the much larger Cimabue painting “Maestà” in the Louvre collection, and both works will be part of an exhibition event in spring 2025, according to the ministry.

☆ Umbria by Train: A Journey Into the ‘Green Heart of Italy’
  + stars: | 2023-06-26 | by ( Perri Klass | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Calling itself the green heart of Italy, the landlocked region of Umbria is known for its truffles and olive oil, roast pork and sausage, wine and cheese. It also has great cultural riches — many of them in hill towns like Orvieto, Perugia and Assisi. The cultural and culinary treasures of the region can easily be reached by train from Rome, which lies just to the south, or from Florence, to the north. From Rome, a logical starting point is Orvieto, only a little over an hour away, with trains available about once an hour. Some leave from the main Termini station; others from the massive multilevel Tiburtina station, easy to get to on the Rome subway.

☆ The Great Bob Thompson, in Two Parts
  + stars: | 2023-06-15 | by ( Roberta Smith | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
But Thompson never doubted his talent and had a voracious appetite for culture in many forms: He consorted with New York’s Beat poets and its free jazz musicians as well as a broad range of artists. His career lasted barely eight years, but he left behind several hundred paintings, drawings and oil studies — a fabulous horde whose magnitude is still not well known. Some works are fairly true to the originals in their composition; elsewhere Thompson took liberties of all kinds. Frequent additions include large silhouettes of monstrous birds that protect, threaten or attack — either physically or spiritually. Sometimes the human figures grasp the birds by their feet, holding them aloft, like trophies or weapons.
