Following its growing success, La Sélection continues to evolve and establish itself more independently. We are delighted to see an ever-increasing number of readers joining us each week, and we are truly grateful for your continued interest. We have recently launched our new website, www.la-selection.art, which we invite you to visit regularly as it continues to develop. This week, we are pleased to present a rare and unpublished chiaroscuro portrait by Benedetto Caliari (Verone, 1538 - 1598, Venice), younger brother of Paolo Veronese. Executed with remarkable finesse, the sheet illustrates the refined use of white heightening on prepared paper that characterises the most admired works of the Veronese circle. Poncelin de Raucourt Fine Arts's online exhibition Recent Acquisitions remains available until 22 May here: https://privateviews.artlogic.net/2/ed075a93bd52d0338c1099/
