SUMMARY:Fernando Gallego and His Workshop: The Altarpiece from Ciudad 
	Rodrigo 
DESCRIPTION: The Creation of Eve by Maestro Bartolomé Following two ye
	ars of groundbreaking research and technical analysis\, UAMA's magnifi
	cent altarpiece of Ciudad Rodrigo is returning to Tucson.The Meadows M
	useum at Southern Methodist University in Dallas instigated the most e
	xtensive study of the altarpiece undertaken to date\, and since the fa
	ll of 2006\, this exquisite group of Spanish medieval panel paintings 
	has undergone ultraviolet light and x-ray examination as well as infra
	red reflectography at the Kimbell Art Museum's Conservation Studio in 
	Fort Worth. The resulting scientific and art historical research has u
	nlocked 500-year-old secrets about the altarpiece's creation and reali
	zation\, all explored in a uniquely comprehensive exhibition\, Fernand
	o Gallego and His Workshop: The Altarpiece from Ciudad Rodrigo\, which
	 will be on view at UAMA from September 4\, 2008 through March 22\, 20
	09.The 26 panels from the altarpiece of Ciudad Rodrigo comprise one of
	 the most important groups of paintings produced in late 15th-century 
	Spain by the artists Fernando Gallego and Master Bartolomé (the latter
	 virtually unknown\, until now) and their workshops. Such "master pain
	ters" often commanded large\, dynamic workshops with many apprentice a
	rtists and frequently joined together on monumental commissions like t
	his cathedral altarpiece.Technical analysis of the paintings (under th
	e direction of the Kimbell Art Museum's chief conservator\, Claire Bar
	ry) revealed the artists' preparatory drawings\, hidden beneath layers
	 of paint. Based on this new access\, scholars identified the distinct
	ive "hands" of the two main artists\, and found that often under-drawi
	ngs did not match finished paintings. In addition\, the research provi
	ded deeper knowledge of how these esteemed masters and their workshops
	 functioned. Through a combination of art historical study and technic
	al analysis\, this exhibition offers a multifaceted view of the panel 
	paintings -- allowing for a new understanding of the relationship betw
	een the artists and workshops involved in their creation\, of the styl
	e and techniques of the individual artists themselves\, and of the pra
	ctice of late Gothic painting in Spain. \n
