TOMILWAUKEE ARTMUSEUM IN FIRST U.S. TOUR Dyck, Gainsborough: The Treasures of Kenwood House, London is coming to Milwaukee." Among the works on view will be Rembrandt's sublime Portrait of the Artist (ca. 1665), Anthony van Dyck's Princess Henrietta of Lorraine Attended by a Page (1634), Thomas Gainsborough's Mary, Countess Howe (ca. 1764), Frans Hals's Pieter van den Broecke (1633), and Joshua Reynolds's Lady Louisa Manners (1779). "These artists were inspired by Europe's rich seascapes and landscapes and aristocratic elegance," said Keegan. "The works are exceptional, sumptuous, and speak to the heart of the 18th-century Golden Age." While the exhibition is on tour, Kenwood House is being refurbished. The villa will reopen in late 2013. The exhibition is curated by Susan Jenkins, together with her colleagues at English Heritage, the government's lead advisory body for the historic environment in England. Supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities, the exhibition received additional funding from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. In-kind support is provided by Barbara and Richard S. Lane. The exhibition is presented at the Milwaukee Art Museum by BMO Harris Bank, with additional funding from Robert W. Baird & Co., Inc. and Michael Best & Friedrich LLP. The exhibition's first U.S. stop was the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. It will travel to the Seattle Art Museum and the Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock before returning to London. The Milwaukee Art Museum, 700 N. Art Museum Dr., is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tues.-Sun., with extended hours until 8 p.m. on Thursdays.
