MADONNAS, CHILDREN, AND OTHER CHRISTMAS ICONS FROM THE COLLECTION OF TOM AND CHRISTIE ACCATINO Drawn from the collection of Tom and Christie Accatino, this selection of paintings from the 16th to the 19th centuries focuses on a single subject: the Biblical Mary and her infant son Jesus. The show thus displays multiple portraits of Christmas itself. Tom and Christie Accatino are local collectors, based in Riverside and Palm Springs, whose eclectic tastes range from California landscape painting to Asian artifacts. They have a particular interest in certain themes and approaches associated with the Old Masters, and over the past few years have amassed a group of portraits, still lifes, and religious subjects by various painters – many still unidentified – working in the Baroque and classic styles prevalent in their day. The selection here includes a range of treatments of the Madonna and Child subject. The iconic pair is shown with St. John the Baptist as a child; with the shepherds who flocked to the manger where Christ was born; with the “sacred heart” symbol; and in other configurations. Augmenting these are several works dealing with related themes, such as a Deposition from the Cross and an adult Christ enthroned on Judgment Day. The artworks, spanning the period between Renaissance and modern times, come from Europe – including Russia – and South America. One work has been positively identified as coming from the hand of the Spanish Baroque master Bartolome Esteban Murillo, while the authorship of the others remains a mystery. No matter their maker, the pictures alternately move and charm us with their sincerity, intimacy, and skill, even virtuosity.
