Catalog Project

Catalog Raisonné

The curator is compiling a catalog raisonné or complete annotated listing (with photographs) that identifies and locates every known work by Melchers, everything from thumbnail sketches to major oil paintings. This information is not intended for commercial purposes but will assist the curator and other scholars as they study Melchers’ career and the work of his contemporaries. If you know of the existence of a picture by Melchers and would like to assist the curator in her search, please email her at jcatron@umw.edu.
