Finding Aid
The prominent Italian art historian Luigi Salerno (1924–1992)—a prolific author, editor, academic, curator, and administrator—made significant contributions to the study of the Italian Baroque and the preservation of artistic patrimony. The Luigi Salerno Research Papers, 1948–1996, document Salerno's career and research interests, which included Italian still life and landscape painting, and the work of Caravaggio, Guercino, and Salvator Rosa.

Exhibition through September 2, 2012
Giovanni Battista Piranesi's monumental etchings of imaginary prisons are among the masterpieces featured in this exhibition, which spans 400 years of printmaking. Piranesi's fantastic images have nothing to do with real prisons. For Piranesi, who was trained as an architect and engineer, prisons were springboards of inspiration that freed him from dull artistic conventions.
Curators lead gallery tours at 2 p.m. on June 7, 14, and 28.
