Sunday Showcase: Patrick Noon Lecture

The Romantic Virtuoso

In this lecture, Patrick Noon, Elizabeth MacMillan Chair of Paintings at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, will examine crucial relationships between the masters of the French and British schools, in particular the group of innovative painters who worked in the orbit of Théodore Géricault, Eugène Delacroix, and Richard Parkes Bonington. The extraordinary formal and critical dialogue that resulted from their close association and from the public exhibition of their pictures in the sanctioned exhibitions and the commercial galleries of London and Paris in the 1820s would radically alter the course of painting in Europe.
