Images from the Metropolitan
October 19, 2004–February 27, 2005
The Erving and Joyce Wolf Gallery, 1st floor
A complement to the Gilbert Stuart exhibition, this is a selection of paintings, drawings, sculpture, and decorative arts depicting George Washington. The display includes works created in his lifetime, recording his image as Revolutionary War hero and president, as well as those made later for patriotic and nostalgic purposes. The works are all drawn from the collections of the Metropolitan Museum.
The Eugénie Prendergast Exhibitions of American Art are made possible by a grant from Jan and Warren Adelson.
