Eleven paintings the museum received from the Kress Founda- tion are now on display in the gallery. These include works by artists such as Marco Basaiti (ca. 1470 – 1530), Ambrogio Bor- gognone (ca. 1460 – 1523) and Salvator Rosa (1615 – 1673). One piece, “Madonna and Child with Saints” by Simone dei Crocifissi, was recently restored at New York University’s Kress Program for Painting Conservation.
Alongside these works are several recent acquisitions of the same period and region, an oil-on-copper painting from the studio of woman artist Lavinia Fontana, fine maiolica pottery and crafted wood furniture as well as long-term loans of baroque paintings from the Parker Foundation.
