The curatorial team
Dr Bożena Anna Kowalczyk, exhibition curator, is a renowned specialist in 18th century veduta.
She took the decision to dedicate herself to Canaletto and Bellotto when she was studying at Venice’s Ca’ Foscari University, where she produced a doctoral thesis on “Il Bellotto italiano” (1993-1996).
A recognised authority on veduta, Bożena Anna Kowalczyk is the author of several important studies on Canaletto and Bellotto. Her work has had a major impact on the critical approach to the two artists by extending the catalogue of their work. Her studies are based on archive research and also cover works by Michele Marieschi and Francesco Guardi.
She is currently working on the publication of a general catalogue of Bernardo Bellotto’s work.
Bożena Anna Kowalczyk has curated or co-curated the following exhibitions:
Bernardo Bellotto 1722-1780, Venice, Correr Museum, 2001;
Canaletto prima maniera, Venice, Giorgio Cini Foundation, 2001;
Canaletto: il trionfo della veduta, Rome, Palazzo Giustiniani, 2005;
Canaletto e Bellotto: l’arte della veduta, Turin, Palazzo Bricherasio, 2008.
Nicolas Sainte Fare Garnot, an art historian specialising in seventeenth-century French painting, has been curator at the Jacquemart-André Museum since 1993. Since his appointment, he has reorganised the distribution of the collections according to the original programme and has initiated various restoration and inventory campaigns. Together with Culturespaces he has helped to create a new dynamic within the Museum by bringing his scientific approach to bear on temporary exhibitions whose subjects offer an opportunity to get to know the artists contained in the permanent collections.
