Featuring more than seventy works past French and European masters such equally Degas, Manet, Monet, Morisot, Renoir, Rousseau, and Van Gogh, this exhibition celebrates Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon'due south boggling gift of nineteenth and early twentieth-century French art to the VMFA. After first becoming interested in British sporting fine art, Paul Mellon began to collect nineteenth-century French art in the 1940s with his 2d wife, Rachel Lambert Mellon. While their collection largely consists of Impressionist paintings, it too includes masterpieces from every of import school of French art—from Romanticism and the Barbizon School through Cubism and the Schoolhouse of Paris. Taken together, these works exemplify the Mellons' personal vision and highly original collecting strategies, which provide a context for understanding this unique drove.
The exhibition reproduces the invigorating experience of the Mellons' collection, in which each work resonates with and gains greater strength from its lovingly created context. Van Gogh, Monet, Degas is presented in a series of sections including Cyphers of Modernity, Horses, Flowers, Views of Paris, People, H2o, Interiors and Tables, The French Countryside, The Transformation of the Ordinary, and VMFA: Toward Impressionism. Opening with Cyphers of Modernity, visitors will be introduced to 2 of the collection's nearly characteristic paintings: Berthe Morisot'south Young Woman Watering a Shrub and Théodore Géricault's Mounted Jockey. These paintings are emblematic of the collection in their delivery to modernism, also equally their subject matter, which appealed to Mrs. Mellon's dearest of gardening and Mr. Mellon's passion for horses and horseracing.
