Titian to Monet: European Paintings from Joslyn Art Museum |
Friday, October 14, 2022 - Sunday, January 08, 2023 |
|
Spanning nearly 500 years, the 52 works comprising the special ticketed exhibition Titian to Monet: European Paintings from Joslyn Art Museum narrate a broad history of European painting from the Italian Renaissance to nineteenth-century French Impressionism. The expansive chronological and geographical range includes the most significant periods, schools, and styles of European art history, represented by masterworks by Titian, Veronese, El Greco, Claude Lorrain, Rembrandt, Courbet, Monet, and Pissarro, among others. A highlight of the exhibition is a distinguished group of nineteenth-century French academic paintings, with major works by Breton, Bouguereau, and Gérôme. The exhibition is organized by Joslyn Art Museum in collaboration with the Taubman Museum of Art, and marks the first time that Joslyn Art Museum will loan a selection of its European paintings as a traveling exhibition. Joslyn is currently undergoing an ambitious expansion and renovation, including of its European galleries, which makes this unprecedented tour of works—many of which never leave permanent display in Omaha—possible. The exhibition is organized in six sections: Devotional Art of the Early Renaissance, Renaissance and Baroque Art in Italy, The Golden Age of Netherlandish Painting, Reason and Romanticism in France and England, History and Invention in the Nineteenth-Century, and Realism and Impressionism in Modern Europe. Outstanding examples of religious, history, portrait, landscape, genre, and still-life painting define artistic movements and embody European social, cultural, and political histories. Titian to Monet: European Paintings from Joslyn Art Museum explores the critical developments and cultural richness of European painting between 1400 and 1900. The Taubman Museum of Art will debut the exhibition with a ticketed Opening Celebration Saturday, October 8, 2022, 8-11 pm, featuring open galleries, live music and performances, red carpet photo opps, sketching stations, a multi-sensory immersive epxerience, and more.. A Member Preview Day is scheduled for Sunday, October 9, 2022. The exhibition will open to the public on Friday, October 14, 2022, and remain on view through Sunday, January 8, 2023 in the Special Exhibition Gallery and Carilion Clinic Gallery.
