Ebria Feinblatt's personal research files are comprised of manuscript notes, typescripts and manuscript essays (many with annotations), photographs (chiefly commercial reproductions), photocopies, reprints and offprints, letters sent and received, and bibliographies and bibliographical notes. The collection materials were assembled to aid the curator with her research on seventeenth-century Bolognese ceiling painting and the development of quadratura painting. The bulk of Feinblatt's research files were to be used for her publication, Seventeenth-century Bolognese Ceiling Decorators. Series I is comprised of artist files. The artists are primarily Bolognese ceiling decorators; however, the series also comprises research files on artists such as Picasso and Rembrandt, whom Feinblatt researched as part of her curatorial responsibilities. The larger portion of artist files are focused mainly on the work of Girolamo Curti, Domenico Maria Canuti, Angelo Michele Colonna, Giuseppe Maria Rolli and Agostino Mitelli as well as their relationships with other artists and collaborators. Series II focuses on relevant sites where Bolognese quadraturisti executed ceiling paintings, primarily in northern Italy, but also in locations outside of Italy such as France and Spain. Often more than one specialist in the field of quadratura contributed to a particular site. Series III focuses on topics ranging from Jesuit church painting to tarsia to theater, which Feinblatt assembled thematically in her research. Large research files are comprised of surrogates for archival documents and reproductions of drawings that were used in order to settle artist attribution questions. This series includes early drafts and annotated drafts for components of Feinblatt's book, Seventeenth-century Bolognese Ceiling Decorators. Feinblatt's personal writings, including plays, fiction, and academic papers are also found in this series.
