Special Exhibit
The Kress Foundation's Study Collection of Italian Paintings
 Room 302 of the Library showcases the Kress Collection of 10 old master paintings that date from the mid-14th through the early 18th centuries and are representative of the major schools of Italian Renaissance and Baroque painting.
This was a gift to Fairfield University by the Discovery Museum in Bridgeport and arranged by Dr. Philip Eliasoph. The collection will be temporarily housed in the library while permanent space is sought elsewhere on campus. Contact the Dept. of Visual and Performing Arts for access to the collection.
