SUMMARY:Tarot! Renaissance Symbols\, Modern Visions
DESCRIPTION:Conceived in two parts\, this double-gallery exhibition explores the origins of Tarot in Renaissance Italy and its ongoing relevance as a source of inspiration for artists in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. \nThe first part of the exhibition\, Renaissance Symbols\, focuses on the origins of the three earliest surviving decks from the fifteenth century\, which were commissioned by the Dukes of Milan. It examines the rich court culture from which the cards emerged\, the development of the cards’ imagery\, and how that imagery became the basis for later divination practices. \nModern Visions\, the second part of the exhibition\, takes as its starting point the legendary 1909 Rider-Waite-Smith deck conceived by mystic Arthur Edward Waite and illustrated by artist Pamela Colman Smith\, tracing the influence of this deck and others on later practitioners and the imagery’s adoption by people like André Breton\, Leonora Carrington\, Remedios Varo\, Jess\, Niki de Saint Phalle\, Betye Saar\, and Kerstin Brätsch. For these artists\, Tarot offered an alternative to the strictures of modernist aesthetics\, allowing them to explore other universes and imaginative possibilities. \nRenaissance Symbols is organized by Joshua O’Driscoll\, Melvin R. Seiden Curator and Department Head of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts\, and Frank Trujillo\, Drue Heinz Book Conservator. Modern Visions is organized by Claire Gilman\, Acquavella Curator and Department Head of Modern and Contemporary Drawings\, with Esther Levy\, Curatorial Assistant\, Modern and Contemporary Drawings. \nTarot! Renaissance Symbols\, Modern Visions is made possible by the Elaine and Alexandre Rosenberg Charitable Foundation\, an anonymous donor\, in memory of Melvin R. Seiden\, Beatrice Stern\, the Vasari Fund for Exhibitions\, the William Randolph Hearst Fund for Scholarly Research and Exhibitions\, and an anonymous donor. Generous support is provided by Alyce Williams Toonk\, the Lucy Ricciardi Family Exhibition Fund\, and Susanna and Livio Borghese\, in memory of Agnes Gund\, with additional support from Marguerite Steed Hoffman\, Dr. Wendy A. Stein and Mr. Bart Friedman\, and Rachel and Alex Stern. \n \nImage Caption: Strength/Fortitude (detail)\, Visconti di Modrone Tarocchi. Italy\, 1441–42. Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library.

SUMMARY:Rembrandt’s Lions: Art and Exile in the Dutch Republic
DESCRIPTION:Although Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) and his work are now seen as quintessentially Dutch\, in his own time\, the very definition of ‘Dutch’ identity was still being shaped. This exhibition brings together\, for the first time\, a remarkable group of drawings\, etchings\, and paintings to highlight the often overlooked but formative presence of migrants\, immigrants\, exiles\, and refugees in Rembrandt’s world and work. It also foregrounds stories of diaspora that figure prominently in many of his etchings\, newly envisioning the impact of migration on seventeenth-century life around the world. \nIn the seventeenth century\, up to sixty percent of residents in Amsterdam—where Rembrandt lived and worked—hailed from elsewhere in the world\, in part because the Dutch Republic had become a bastion in Continental Europe for religious and political tolerance\, though not all people enjoyed equal freedoms\, especially in Dutch colonial territories. The lion\, a symbol for the fledgling Republic’s people and lands\, also appears in Rembrandt’s etchings\, often in the context of stories about exile\, refuge\, and migration. The aim of the artist is thus the aim of this exhibition: to reveal the many ‘lions’ that irrevocably shaped him and the vast\, emerging Republic in which they all lived and worked. \nThe best impressions from the Morgan’s collection of celebrated\, but rarely exhibited\, etchings by Rembrandt will be presented alongside selected loans to create juxtapositions and unities between artworks that are seldom seen together. \nOrganized by Sarah Mallory\, Annette and Oscar De La Renta Assistant Curator\, Department of Drawings and Prints. \n \nRembrandt van Rijn. St. Jerome Reading in an Italian Landscape\, ca. 1653. Etching and drypoint\, printed on Japanese paper\, 259 x 210 mm. Purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan in 1905. The Morgan Library & Museum (RvR 165).

SUMMARY:William Blake: Paradise Lost
DESCRIPTION:To mark the two hundredth anniversary of the death of visionary artist and poet William Blake (1757–1827)\, this exhibition will be the first in-depth exploration of Blake’s profound and persistent engagement with England’s canonic poet\, John Milton (1608–1674). Milton\, who predates Blake by more than a century\, was a statesman\, polemicist\, and author of the biblical epic Paradise Lost. Yet the legacy of his writings and ideas coursed through Blake’s imagination from youth to old age\, taking form in visions\, poetry\, and the astonishing body of watercolor drawings he produced in the second half of his career. \nThis exhibition will reunite Blake’s most significant works inspired by Milton\, alongside selections by his contemporaries\, including Henri Fuseli and John Flaxman. For the first time in more than a quarter century\, visitors will gain unprecedented access to Blake’s rarely seen Miltonic watercolors\, illuminated books\, and paintings\, drawn from renowned American and British collections and the Morgan’s own formidable holdings by Blake and Milton. \nAfter 1800\, Milton’s poetry rivaled the Bible as Blake’s dominant literary inspiration. Blake’s relationship to the poet and thinker\, however\, was complex. He confronted and wrestled with Milton’s writings and beliefs. This struggle solidified Blake’s own ideas\, yielding his most personal and provocative achievements as a mature artist. Blake’s efforts culminated in his own ambitious epic Milton\, A Poem (c. 1804-1801) and the extraordinary sets of watercolor drawings illustrating Milton’s major works: the early lyric poem “On the Morning of Christ’s Nativity” (1629); the companion poems L’Allegro and Il Penseroso (c.1631); the masque Comus (1634); and the epics Paradise Lost (1667; rev. 1674) and Paradise Regained (1671). \nOrganized by Jennifer Tonkovich\, Eugene and Clare Thaw Curator\, Department of Drawings and Prints\, and Sheelagh Bevan\, Andrew W. Mellon Curator\, Department of Printed Books and Bindings. \n \nWilliam Blake (English\, 1757–1827). The Temptation and Fall of Eve (Illustration to Milton’s “Paradise Lost”)\, 1808. Black ink and watercolor over graphite on paper. Sheet: 49.7 × 38.7 cm (19 9/16 × 15 1/4 in.). Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, Museum purchase with funds donated by contribution\, 90.99.
