SUMMARY:Caspar David Friedrich: The Soul of Nature
DESCRIPTION:Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840) reimagined European landscape painting by portraying nature as a setting for profound spiritual and emotional encounters. Working in the vanguard of the German Romantic movement\, which championed a radical new understanding of the bond between nature and the inner self\, Friedrich developed pictorial subjects and strategies that emphasize the individuality\, intimacy\, open-endedness\, and complexity of our responses to the natural world. The vision of the landscape that unfolds in his art—meditative\, mysterious\, and full of wonder—is still vital today. \nCaspar David Friedrich: The Soul of Nature is the first comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the artist held in the United States. Organized in cooperation with the Alte Nationalgalerie of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin\, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden\, and Hamburger Kunsthalle\, with unprecedented loans from more than 30 lenders in Europe and North America\, the exhibition presents approximately 75 works by Friedrich. Oil paintings\, finished drawings\, and working sketches from every phase of the artist’s career\, along with select examples by his contemporaries\, illuminate how Friedrich developed a symbolic vocabulary of landscape motifs to convey the personal and existential meanings that he discovered in nature. The exhibition situates Friedrich’s art within the tumultuous politics and vibrant culture of 19th-century German society and\, by extension\, highlights the role of German Romanticism in shaping modern perceptions of the natural world. \nThe exhibition is complemented by a display of artworks featuring lunar imagery in gallery 554\, located just beyond the exhibition exit. The moon—a motif cherished by Caspar David Friedrich and other Romantic artists—was celebrated across various media\, including paintings\, porcelain\, music\, and poetry. \nThe exhibition is made possible by Marina Kellen French. \nAdditional support is provided by the Janice H. Levin Fund\, Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne\, Barbara A. Wolfe\, an Anonymous Foundation\, The International Council of The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, and Trevor and Alexis Traina. \nCorporate sponsorship is provided by Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe and Allianz X. \nThis exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. \nThe catalogue is made possible by the Wolfgang Ratjen Stiftung\, Liechtenstein\, and the Drue E. Heinz Fund. \nAdditional support is provided by the Tavolozza Foundation\, Hubert and Mireille Goldschmidt\, and Elizabeth Marsteller Gordon. \n \nImage: Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840)\, Statue of the Madonna in the Mountains (detail)\, 1804.

SUMMARY:Monet\, Great / Not so Great: Looking Closely
DESCRIPTION:The third annual Michael and Juliet Rubenstein Lecture on Connoisseurship\, presented by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. \nJoin art historian Gloria Groom for a closer look at artworks from Monet’s extraordinarily long career to consider works that are incontestably great—and others\, where his ambition\, technique\, and composition fall short of that adjective. This talk also considers other factors that come into connoisseurship\, including historical context\, tastes of the times\, and\, potentially most importantly\, the market. \nGloria Groom\, Chair and Winton Green Curator\, Department of Painting and Sculpture of Europe\, The Art Institute of Chicago \nFree with The Met Museum admission\, though advance registration is recommended.\nThis lecture will take place in The Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium.\nNote: Space is limited; first come\, first served. Priority will be given to those who register. \n_ \nThis event is organized by our partner museum\, The Metropolitan Museum of Art. This series is made possible by the Michael A. and Juliet van Vliet Rubenstein Fund. \n \nImage caption: Claude Monet (French\, 1840-1926)\, Cliff Walk at Pourville\, 1882.

SUMMARY:Paris through the Eyes of Saint-Aubin
DESCRIPTION:Gabriel de Saint-Aubin (1724–1780) was a prolific and unconventional draftsman whose drawings invite viewers into every corner of the French capital. As an observer and chronicler\, he prowled the streets of Paris and recorded the full spectrum of daily life in his sketchbooks\, from shop interiors to art auctions and public gardens to rowdy street fairs. Everything he saw was worthy of his attention\, wit\, and empathy. \nSaint-Aubin’s body of work is made up almost entirely of tiny\, portable\, and intricate works on paper. Taken together\, these countless sketches give rise to a deeper view of the city as an organic form. Beyond capturing the tangible\, they bring to light the pride and aspirations of Paris in the 18th century\, a time when sites were being destroyed\, rebuilt\, and reimagined. \nMarking the 300th anniversary of his birth\, the exhibition features a thematic arrangement demonstrating the breadth of Saint-Aubin’s interests. Examples of his drawings and prints\, drawn from The Met’s holdings and local private collections\, are complemented by a selection of works by his family and contemporaries\, offering a context for his career and highlighting the unique nature of his vision. \n \n\nImage: Gabriel de Saint-Aubin (French\, 1724–1780).
