Founded in 1832, the Yale University Art Gallery is the oldest university art museum in America. Today, it is a center for teaching, learning, and scholarship and is a preeminent cultural asset for Yale University, the wider academic community, and the public. The museum is open to all, free of charge, and is committed to engaging audiences through thoughtful, creative, and relevant exhibitions, programs, and publications.
The publications program at the Gallery plays a vital role in the museum’s mission to encourage appreciation and understanding of art. The Gallery’s exhibition catalogues, Bulletin, Yale Collections series, and monographic titles serve a wide variety of audiences, from casual museum goers to scholars.
Launched in 2023, Italian Paintings at the Yale University Art Gallery is the museum’s first born-digital publication. Catalogue entries continue to be added as they are written. For the best experience, the catalogue should be viewed in the most recent versions of Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
