Pierre-Jean Mariette and the Art of Collecting Drawings is on display at the Morgan Library in New York through the end of April. Private collections, along with the collections at the Morgan, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and at the Princeton University Art Museum contributed Old Master drawings still housed in the characteristic blue mats that Mariette imposed with a sort of religious consistency on the drawings he acquired. Less charming are descriptions of Mariette's practices as a so-called "restorer" – which included firming up the outlines of Parmigianinos and Guercinos with his own fearless pen.
