Crosscurrents: Cultural Exchange in the Eighteenth Century
The Winter Show, Park Avenue Armory 643 Park Avenue, New York, NY, United StatesThe Winter Show, Park Avenue Armory
The eighteenth century was a time of great cross-cultural exchange, in Europe and beyond. Artists from England and Northern Europe embarked on their Grand Tours of Italy to steep themselves in the classical monuments and landscapes, while other artists traveled north to seek out royal and elite patronage, prestigious commissions in flourishing academies, and in search of inspiration in new places. This multifaceted cultural exchange was further expanded by artists’ encounters with diverse cultures, in colonies or through exported goods. Join us for a panel discussion between scholars and dealers to discuss the importance of drawing from this period of travel and enrichment.

Join author Claire Van Cleave for the launch of her much anticipated publication: The Farnese Drawings Collection, Editori Paparo, Naples, 2025. The Farnese Drawings Collection chronicles the rise and fall of the drawings collected in the Palazzo Farnese, Rome from the heyday of Farnese power in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries through to the remnants of the collection now held in the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte, Naples. At its peak, the collection included over 850 works on paper by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Parmigianino, Jacopo Bertoia, Giulio Clovio, Sofonisba Anguissola, Annibale Carracci, Albrecht Dürer, and other great artists of the period, but today only 57 drawings with a Farnese provenance are identifiable in Capodimonte collections.
