Events and Programs


A selection of approximately twenty works on paper from the Museum’s permanent collection are on view in the Hoopes Gallery until September 23, 2007. The featured works date from the Renaissance to the early twentieth century and include drawings, pastels, watercolors, and prints. While many of the works are highly finished, others are quickly sketched preparatory studies for larger paintings. The subject matter ranges from classical literature and biblical sources to images of the human figure and works inspired by the natural world. Among the featured artists included François Boucher, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Claude Lorrain, Giovanni Paolo Panini, Pablo Picasso, Marcantonio Raimondi, Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, Vincent van Gogh, and others. The exhibition is curated by Erin B. Coe, curator, The Hyde Collection.
