Old master prints, among them work by Rembrandt and van Dyck, will be on loan to the exhibition from Wake Forest University’s collection. More than 20 paintings and prints by the 19th century’s leading artists, including William Merritt Chase, Thomas Cole, John Singleton Copley, Edward Hicks, Charles Willson Peale and Gilbert Stuart, serve to explore themes of America’s cultural identity. As the Reynolda House Museum of American Art exhibition will show, he used wooden canvas stretcher bars from his studio to construct his earliest versions of the telegraph.Īnother highlight of the exhibition will be important works from the collection of Reynolda House Museum of American Art. The show’s final element, early telegraphs, affirms that Morse was an astute bridge between old and new, cleverly moving from painter to inventor. In 2015, a national tour commenced, the much-delayed culmination of Morse’s original intent. The painting set a record for an American work of art at the time of its last purchase in 1982: $3.5 million. When the tour did not materialize, Morse relinquished his creativity to perfecting his telegraph. His plan was to send the painting on a national tour after its completion in 1833. “Gallery of the Louvre” was a purely academic undertaking for Morse, befitting his role as painting professor and founder of the National Academy in New York. Morse’s good friend, author James Fenimore Cooper, can be glimpsed with his wife and daughter in the left corner. He is seen tutoring a young art student as she works on her own copy of one of the masterpieces before her. Morse centers himself in the painting’s foreground as an instructor and, figuratively, as a link between European art of the past and America’s cultural future. His arrangement of the old master miniatures within his own painting was done to demonstrate differences in styles and techniques among the artists.
He painstakingly copied in miniature Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, and work by Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Rubens, Tintoretto, Titian, and other celebrated artists, then imaginatively ‘installed’ the works in the Louvre’s majestic Salon Carré. The massive six-by-nine foot canvas pictures 38 Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces, which Morse considered to be the finest works inside the Louvre. The Reynolda House Museum of American Art exhibition of Gallery of the Louvre also includes 19th-century paintings and prints from its renowned collection of American art along with old master prints on loan from Wake Forest University.
