"Rooms with a View: The Open Window in the 19th Century" Exhibition
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
This event has ended.
This exhibition focuses on the Romantic motif of the open window as first captured by German, Danish, French, and Russian artists around 1810–20. These works include hushed, sparse rooms showing contemplative figures, studios with artists at work, and window views as sole motifs. The exhibition features some thirty oils and thirty works on paper.
