Papers, 1819-1844.

Collection contains six letters or certificates by Camuccini authenticating and evaluating works of art on biblical themes and approving copies after Guido Reni and Caravaggio by Melchiorre Missirini and others. In two letters to Missirini (April 24, 1829; Oct. 19, 1941), Camuccini discusses his involvement with the Accademia nazionale di San Luca, and his plans for painting "Joash Recognized," an Old Testament theme concerning the coronation of Joash as king of Judea. A 14 p. corrected manuscript biography of Camuccini, apparently unpublished, is by the architect Francesco Gasperoni. Related correspondence is comprised of six letters from Camuccini's widow, the baroness Emilia, to Gasperoni, and drafts of four letters from Gasperoni to the baroness. A seven page canto in an unknown hand celebrates Camuccini's accomplishments. An engraved portrait of Camuccini is also included.
