PICASSO Celebrated artist Pablo Picasso's dream of opening a gallery in his home city of Malaga has been realized with the inauguration of this dedicated museum, a treasure trove of Picasso's work in the town where he was born. Featured are paintings, drawings and sculptures, many donated by Picasso's family. MUSEO CORRER "Sargent's Venice" Through July 22, 2007 Crumbling, licentious and gloriously Byzantine, Venice cast an enchanted spell over 19th-century artists and literati. The first-ever solo exhibition of the expatriate American painter John Singer Sargent in the city he prized features watercoloer and oils of Venetian churches, piazzas, palazzi and waterways, many presented as he saw them from a gondola. GALERIES NATIONALES DU GRAND PALAIS "The Gupta Empire, The Golden Age of Indian Civilization" India's Gupta dynasty (from around A.D. 320 to 500) witnessed a flowering of development in science, mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, religion and and the arts. More than 100 sculptures, all of them on loan from major Indian collections, form the heart of this exhibition, which explores a period of vast influence and extreme aesthetic refinement, still little known in the West. THE REMBRANDT HOUSE MUSEUM
The 17th century house in which Rembrandt lived and worked from 1639 till 1658 is today still to be found in the Jodenbreestraat in Amsterdam. The house in which his son Titus was born and his wife Saskia prematurely died is also the place where he painted and made his prints. In 1911 Rembrandt's house became a museum and it now owns and houses almost all of Rembrandt's etchings ( 250 in total). It is unique to see these exhibited in the very same surroundings in which they where created. Also to be found in the museum are a small number of his drawings as well as paintings by his pupils and his teacher (Pieter Lastman). |
