Robert Simon Fine Art is dedicated to introducing the great art of the past to new audiences, as well as to providing distinguished works to collectors and institutions worldwide. The gallery was born out of Robert’s expertise in Italian painting, although his and the gallery’s interests have since expanded to include the breadth of European art from the Renaissance to the Nineteenth Century. As broad as these interests are, connoisseurship underlies them all and has resulted in a remarkable series of discoveries. Additionally, he has led collector interest in the fields of female Old Master painters and Spanish Colonial art, having brought to light and placed important works in both areas. Significant paintings, drawings, and sculpture from the gallery are to be found in major American museums, as well as in private collections across the globe.
Scholarship at the highest level informs all the works presented by RSFA, with rigorous attention paid to condition, provenance, and, of course, authorship. Joined by Gallery Director Dominic Ferrante, Robert Simon Fine Art is devoted to making the at-times daunting issues involved with collecting Old Masters understandable and accessible, as well as to deepening our understanding of the historical, social, and cultural meaning of the works of art that make the field so rewarding.
