There have...Sadly, not "in vogue" enough. There have been very few exhibitions of Moroni's work. Most recently two of his works were featured in a traveling show of masterpieces from the Accademia Carrara, Bergamo, which is closed for renovations. They have a wonderful roomful of Moronis. The National Gallery in London also has a very fine collection of Moroni's work, which was esteemed by Eastlake, and Mary Cassatt.<br />There was a small show of his work at the Kimbel Museum in Fort Worth, the only solo show of Moroni hosted in the USA. Moroni was not a great altarpiece painter, but his portraits are superb, under valued, and uncannily modern. One of his masterpieces is in the Worcester Museum of Art In MA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
