Welcome - Haggerty Museum of Art

In 1999 the Haggerty Museum acquired the Portrait of Piero di Domenico Pagni by the Florentine artist Ridolfo Ghirlandaio, with the support of the Mary B. Finnigan Art Endowment Fund. The desire to provide a broader context for viewing this important acquisition to the Haggerty collection was a major factor in the decision to mount the current exhibition. The exhibition also provides the opportunity to display the early Italian pieces in the Haggerty collection such as Christ at the Column by Giovanni Pietro Pedrini [Rizzoli], The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine by an artist within the circle of Lorenzo Sabatini, and an important Adoration of the Shepherds attributed to a Florentine painter. Paintings by Ghirlandiao, Jacopo Bassano, Giovanni Larciani, and Michele Tosini are include in the exhibition along with works from museums in Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and New Orleans as well as artists’ works found in smaller public and private collections across the nation.

The exhibition will be on display at the Haggerty Museum of Art, Marquette University through May 20, 2001.
