A Room with a View: Scenes of the Italian Countryside
May 15, 2021 - Nov 28, 2021
Artists sought different subjects and experiences in Italy. American Hudson River School painter Thomas Cole was preoccupied with the effect of humans on the landscape and the ruins left behind by past civilizations. A century-and-a-half later, Canadian photographer Geoffrey James also sought to explore how mankind had impacted the Roman landscape, in both ancient times and more recently. Other artists, such as Louis Eilshemius, were drawn to the almost spiritual quality of the Italian countryside. This exhibition explores the influence of the Italian campagna on artists over the course of three centuries.
