Beginning with the influential work of Michelangelo, the exhibition also includes work by Guilio Romano, Paolo Veronese, Giorgio Vasari, and Andrea del Sarto, among others. Most of these extraordinary sixteenth-century works are appearing outside the walls of the Prado Museum in Madrid for the first time. This exhibition is organized and circulated by Art Services International, Alexandria, Virginia in association with The Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid. Support for the exhibition has been provided by The Samuel H. Kress Foundation, The Chisholm Foundation, and an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. The Pittsburgh presentation of the exhibition is supported, in part, through a generous grant from Drue Heinz Trust. click here for more information *The Road to Impressionism: Barbizon Landscapes from the Walters Art Museum* *February 7, 2009 - May 3, 2009* The work of the Barbizon school dovetails with most of the major artistic movements of mid-nineteenth-century France, with the intensely expressive trees of Diaz and Rousseau conveying the Romantic approach of earlier in the nineteenth century, and Millet’s interest in the life of the rural laborer becoming a powerful force in the rise of Realism. This exhibition examines the enduring legacy of this group of artists and includes paintings by Théodore Rousseau (1812–1867), Jean-François Millet (1814–1875), Jean-Baptiste- Camille Corot (1796–1875), and Claude-Oscar Monet (1840–1926) whose 1871 painting Windmills Near Zaandam owes much to the earthy palette and emotional depictions of nature typical of the Barbizon school. Paintings by Barbizon artists were highly sought after by American collectors like Henry Clay Frick and William Walters, who in their Gilded Age mansions, could experience the reverence for the countryside as espoused by Théodore Rousseau, who “heard the voices of the trees and wanted to put his finger on the secret of their majesty.” Organized by The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore. click here for more information *The Dutch Italianates: Seventeenth-Century Masterpieces from Dulwich Picture Gallery, London* *July 11, 2009 - September 20, 2009* This exhibition comprises forty influential paintings by the famed masters of the Dutch Italianate style selected from the collection of The Dulwich Picture Gallery, England’s oldest public art gallery.
