Jan Lievens
February 7, 2009–April 26, 2009
Daring and innovative as a painter, draughtsman, and printmaker, Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) created a number of memorable character studies, genre scenes, landscapes, formal portraits, and religious and allegorical images. This exhibition will, for the first time, present an overview of the full range of Lievens’ career, with about 45 of his finest paintings and a select group of his drawings and prints.
