'The Studio of Salvator Rosa '
Now on view at Joslyn Art Museum
is a newly acquired painting, "The
Studio of Salvator Rosa in the
Mountains of the Abruzzi" (1865),
by British artist Thomas Jones
Barker.
The oil painting is in the historical
genre that flourished in the 19th
century and that is representative
of Barker's style and career. The
painting depicts two Italian figures
popular with British audiences of
the day: the controvesial 17th-century
artist Salvator Rosa and the charis
matic 19th-century military leader
Giuseppe Garibaldi.
According to Bernard Barryte,
Joslyn's curator of European art,
"The Studio of Salvator Rosa" was
purchased at auction in October at
Christies' New York auction house.
Funds for the painting were gener
ously provided by the Joslyn Women's
Association from money raised at its
1985 Collectors' Choice.
Barryte said he became aware of
the work through the Christies'
auction catalogue. He was interested
in the Barker work, he explained,
because "it's an exciting picture
with an obviously rich narrative
content. In portraying celebrated
artist Salvator Rosa and in its
contemporary associations with the
Italian hero Giuseppe Garibaldi,
the work effectively combines two
colorful legends."
"Its narrative is very detailed and
must have appealed enormously to
19th-century British audiences, who
knew the stories about Rosa and
especially about Garibaldi so well,"
Barryte said. "Rosa was one of the
most popular artists among English
connoisseurs and critics, while
Garibaldi's efforts to unify Italy
were widely applauded throughout
England."
Research among art-reference
publications revealed that "The
Studio of Salvator Rosa" has for
more than 100 years been considered
by art historians and critics to be a
prime example of Barker's skill as a
historical genre painter, Barryte said.
Admission is $2 for adults and $1
for children under 12 and senior
citizens. Museum hours are 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday;
and 1 to 5 p.m.,. Sunday; Joslyn is
closed Mondays and major holidays.
For more information, please call
the Joslyn Art Museum at 342-3300.

"IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOE ME TO HAVE
MY CONTACT LENSES FITTED PROPERLY."
Like most people, I'm on the go alot. 1 1 ried cont ac t lenses a lew years ago and
was never really happy. Wearing contacts helped my vision but they became a
hassle because of the mild discomfort and oc casional fuzzy vision.
I asked several of my friends who wear contacts to recommend a specialist,
and most of them recommended Dr. Powell at the International Contact Lens
Clinic.
I went to their clinic for a no charge consultat ion to talk about new contact
lenses. Their office offers complete contact lens se ices and complete optical
services including:
thorough examination, individual fitting, and close supervision
curbside parking, convenient central Lincoln location
appointments available lunch hours, and Saturdays
eight week trial program for
close observation of comfort and eye health
lens strength or fitting modification if indicated
no charge for damaged lenses
spare glasses, sunglasses and special solutions for sensitive eyes
a continuing care program future upgrading of contact lenses as
scientific progress is made.
1 decided to have them fit my eyes and I was very comfortable with their
professional approach, their fees, and their thoroughness.
Everyone in their office helped me become a successful wearer. I consider
their office outstanding and I recommended them to all my friends.
