From the Dahesh Museum Website:
"The Dahesh Museum of Art is the only museum in America dedicated to
collecting and exhibiting 19th- and early 20th-century European academic
art, which is the continuation of the great Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo
traditions in the visual arts. The Museum is a leader in rediscovering the
rich art and history of the French Academy, the British Royal Academy and
other centers of artistic tradition throughout the Western world."
"Telling Tales I explores the Classical legacy in a broad range of
exquisite paintings, drawings and sculptures from the Dahesh Museum of Art
collection and demonstrates how 19th-century academic artists adapted the
Classical canon to their specific needs and aspirations.
Telling Tales I was organized by Associate Curator Roger Diederen, who
wrote the full-color catalogue that complements the exhibition. The second
half of this investigation, Telling Tales II, which begins October 16,
investigates religious imagery from the same period."
