Later Western Art
The longstanding commitment of Princeton’s Department
of Art and Archaeology to art of the Middle Ages is supported
in the museum by examples of architectural sculpture, stained
glass windows—among them an example from Chartres Cathedral—ivories
from the Byzantine Empire and the West, Limoges enamels, metalwork,
and distinguished examples of German, Flemish, and Spanish polychrome
wooden sculptures. The collection of Western paintings ranges
from early gold ground paintings by Guido de Siena, Francesco
Traini, and Fra Angelico to European and American nineteenth-century
art, with particular strengths in Mannerist and Neoclassical
art. They include Dutch Mannerist paintings by Hendrik Goltzius
and Abraham Bloemaert, and works by Angelika Kauffman and the
studio of Jacques-Louis David. Paintings by François Boucher
and Jean-Simon Chardin represent the rococo age, and those by
Edouard Manet and Claude Monet are among the masterpieces of
Impressionism. The Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation, Inc.,
has placed on long-term loan a magnificent collection of Post-Impressionist
art, including works by Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Henri
de Toulouse-Lautrec, Amedeo Modigliani, and Chaim Soutine.
Among the early twentieth-century paintings are a late masterpiece
by Odilon Redon and a rare work by the Russian painter Ilya
Repin. Treasures in the newly installed gallery
of American art include works by John Singleton Copley,
John Singer Sargent, William Merritt Chase, and Childe Hassam,
and important examples of naïve art from the Hudson and Connecticut
River valleys. Twentieth-century modern movements are represented
in works of Emile Nolde, Max Beckman, and Jacques Lipchitz,
and in Surrealist canvases by Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, and Kay
Sage. Thomas Hart Benton and Milton Avery show diverse currents
of twentieth-century American art, while important works by
Willem de Kooning, Ad Reinhardt, Andy Warhol, and David Smith,
on view in the contemporary
gallery, chart post-World War II developments. Important
loans enrich the holdings in contemporary art.
