European Art
The European Art collection is a rich and diverse collection featuring approximately 900 paintings, 500 sculptures, 800 drawings, and 3,000 British and Continental prints. Paintings on display represent periods ranging from late medieval through the mid-twentieth century. Especially impressive are Baroque paintings, including masterworks by Caravaggio, Strozzi, Ribera, Zurbarán, Hals, van Dyck, and Claude Lorrain.
Nineteenth century artists, particularly those working in France, are amply featured and include significant works by Degas, Cézanne, Renoir, Monet, Manet, and van Gogh. More...
The museum has a small but distinguished collection of twentieth century painting, anchored by the works of two trailblazing Spaniards, Picasso and Dalí. The museum's holdings of Surrealist works — by Miró, de Chirico, Magritte, and Ernst — are one of its primary strengths.
Permanent gallery space is also dedicated to works from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, as well as medieval Europe.
