This video celebrates "The Medici’s Painter: Carlo Dolci and 17th-Century Florence," the first exhibition in the United States devoted to the luminous and meticulously rendered paintings of Italian artist Carlo Dolci (1616–1687). A favorite among the powerful Medici family, Dolci was the most important painter in 17th-century Florence. "The Medici’s Painter" includes more than 50 paintings and works on paper, including a rare 17th-century Florentine still life painting. This exhibition includes major loans from the Louvre in Paris, Uffizi Gallery in Florence, J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, Detroit Institute of Arts, and private Italian collections. The Medici’s Painter is organized by the Davis Museum at Wellesley College and curated by Eve Straussman-Pflanzer, recently named head of the European art department and Elizabeth and Allan Shelden Curator of European paintings at the Detroit Institute of Arts. This ticketed exhibition is on view at the Davis Museum at Wellesley, February 8 – July 9, 2017, and will be on view at the Nasher Museum August 24, 2017 – January 14, 2018.
