>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.
