Visions of Grandeur: Drawing in the Baroque Age
June 1–September 12, 2004
Seventeenth-century Western art is commonly called Baroque, a word that refers to artistic expression marked by extravagant forms, dynamic opposition, and powerful tensions. Artists across Europe explored common trends. This exhibition surveys many of these trajectories with drawings from the permanent collection, featuring a number of new acquisitions and works by Peter Paul Rubens, Nicolas Poussin, Gianlorenzo Bernini, Claude Lorrain, and Pietro da Cortona.
