Some of the greatest European painters of the nineteenth century are united for the first time in over two centuries in this major exhibition that investigates the artistic exchange between France and Britain during the period of High Romanticism. More than 150 spectacular oil paintings and watercolors are on view including works by artists such as Ingres, Constable, Bonington, Delacroix, Turner, and Géricault.
Organized by Tate Britain in collaboration with The Minneapolis Institute of Arts and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this exhibition is curated by Patrick Noon, the Patrick & Aimee Butler Curator of Paintings at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The Minneapolis viewing of Crossing the Channel is supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
A fully illustrated catalogue is available by visiting the Museum Shop at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts or by calling the shop toll free, (866) 632-7467.
