The oldest commercial art gallery in the world, print sellers to
the Prince Regent, and pioneers of photographic publishing,
Colnaghi have sold some of the most important Old Master works to
come on the market to private collectors and museums across the
world. In celebration of their 250th anniversary, they are
producing a commemorative catalogue, which traces the history of
the gallery from its foundation in 1760 by the enterprising
fireworks manufacturer Giavanni Battista Torre. The book is slanted
to what one might call the Golden Age of Old Master picture
dealing, between c. 1894, when Colnaghi began to challenge Agnew
and Sulley for domination of the Old Master picture market, and
1930-31, the date of the great Hermitage sale, which is discussed
by David Ekserdjan. In other essays authors consider the gallery's
relationships with important dealers and collectors such as Otto
Gutekunst, Isabella Gardner, Bernard Berenson, Henry Clay Frick and
James Byam Shaw.
