Chrysler Museum of Art

The exhibition was curated by Emily Javalt, PhD, AFAM's Deborah Davenport and Stuart Stender, Deputy Director and Chief Curatorial and Program Officer.

and Caroline Culp, Ph.D., AFAM's former Warren Family Assistant Curator and now Brock Curator of American Art at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia.

And it is Emily and Caroline I had the privilege of chatting with.

What a treat! Now, just before we begin, one final thing.

Okay.

I'm Caroline Culp.

I am the Brock Curator of American Art at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia.

And previously, I worked with Emily at the American Folk Art Museum on this wonderful exhibition that we are going to tell you all about.

And that's Lois.

And Lois and I are going to go to the Chrysler Museum and try to get an exhibit there, just because her family, where this family lived...

It was just a few blocks from the Chrysler Art Museum in Norfolk, Virginia.

So they lived so close by, but we've stayed friends.

at? Norfolk.

It's called the Chrysler Museum.

They have all kinds of cool artifacts and art and stuff.

Who does...

Another of Sts.

Anthony Abbott and Paul the Hermit is now at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia.

And there was a third, of St. Jerome, that we now only know from a copy that was made of it in the late 18th century.

More on that story later.

The color of the ground is described as warm biscuit brown.

The other two paintings in the commission were likely prepared in the same way as Veronese usually did.

The painting in the Chrysler Museum that depicts Anthony Abbott definitely has the same herringbone weave canvas.

In some cross-sections of paint taken from our painting, samples so tiny you would never notice, you can see over the gesso ground and the imprimatura toning, a layer of pink paint made from a mixture of red lake and white.
