  • Scholarship and appreciation of Old Masters and Antiquities for a 21st century audience
The Colnaghi Foundation is a UK registered charity with a mission to foster the study of pre-twentieth-century Art and Antiquities by supporting and promoting research, publications, the application of new technologies to art and heritage, conservation, educational projects and bi-lateral institutional partnerships for collective impact. Our platform brings together scholars, intellectuals and patrons to reach out to a wide contemporary audience. Finally the Foundation strives to encourage cooperation and discourse among other organisations involved in similar efforts throughout the world to further promote the charity's goals and efforts as well as a love and appreciation for old masters and cultural heritage.


Our initiatives include:

  • ➢ the Colnaghi Studies Journal, a free to access online and print publication, with an Editorial Committee of over 50 museum directors, curators and scholars, which features illustrated articles about artworks in a range of media;

  • ➢ the Colnaghi Archive, which allows the consultation for scholars and researchers of one of the most important private dealer archives in the world housed at Waddesdon Manor and whose records consist of stock books, correspondence, exhibitions catalogues, financial records and catalogues;

    ➢ the Colnaghi Foundation monthly Rencontres series of events, masterclasses and colloquia linked to exhibitions and topics of interest in the art and humanities world and held both at the Foundation’s premises in central London, New York and Madrid and at other international venues.
