Capturing Light: 350 Years of European and American Painting
Prominent painters include Frederic, Lord Leighton (British, 1830鈥�1896) 鈥� whose Solitude is a long-time favorite of Maryhill Museum visitors鈥攁nd Thomas Hart Benton (American, 1889鈥�1975).
The images present subjects as diverse as a scene at County Cork鈥檚 Ballyhooly Fair (1858), an 1890s rendering of figures inside Paris鈥� Folies Berg猫re, a royal audience at Buckingham Palace (1931), and a shepherd on Arizona鈥檚 Navajo Reservation (2016).
Most of the works capture scenes from the historic past and their bucolic content provides viewers with an opportunity to reflect on lives lived at a slower pace and in a seemingly idyllic world.
