Pilgrims of Beauty:
Art and Inspiration in 19th-Century Italy
Friday, February 3 through Sunday, June 10, 2012
Throughout the 19th century, the landscape, history, architecture, and art of Italy served as a tremendous source of inspiration for artists. Masters such as Ingres, Turner, Sargent, and Whistler were among those who benefitted from, and contributed to, the spirit of artistic experimentation and collaboration Italy offered.
Featuring more than 60 works of art—including paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, photographs, and jewelry, all drawn from the Museum’s permanent collection—Pilgrims of Beauty is a window into the array of styles and approaches that emerged from Italy in this period.
