About

The reinstalled ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ Gallery integrates paintings and decorative arts from the Baroque era through the 19th century. This exhibition examines the scope of artistic influences in an age of intercontinental exploration and trade.

This ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ Gallery reinstallation presents lesser-known gems of the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ College Museum of Art's collection, such as bronze animal figurines by French sculptor Antoine-Louise Barye, alongside distinguished masterpieces such as Benjamin West's "Portrait of Sir Robert Stuart" and John Singleton Copley's "Portrait of Benjamin Hallowell."
