Sacramento/Sierra Chapter - Crocker Art Museum Visit "The Sense of Beauty"

Join the California Art Club for a docent lead tour of the exhibition The Sense of Beauty: Six Centuries of Painting from Museo de Arte de Ponce. The exhibition has 60 masterworks spanning six centuries—from the 16th to the 21st. This remarkable exhibition includes iconic paintings never before seen in the United States.

Among the highlights is the iconic Flaming June (1895) by Frederic, Lord Leighton (1830–1896), a jewel of the Ponce’s internationally renowned Victorian art collection. The exhibition also includes:
• Portraits by Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, John Singer Sargent, and Élisabeth-Louise Vigée Le Brun
• Landscapes by Frederic Edwin Church, Claude Lorrain, and Gustave Courbet
• Historical and mythical scenes by Jean-Léon Gérôme and Angelica Kauffman
• Religious paintings by Lucas Cranach the Elder, El Greco, Peter Paul Rubens, and Anthony van Dyck
