To Rome and Back: Individualism and Authority in Art, 1500–1800

(Los Angeles—May 18, 2018) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is pleased to present To Rome and Back: Individualism and Authority in Art, 1500–1800. Assembled almost entirely from LACMA’s permanent collection, this examination of Rome presents gifts from years of support to the museum’s departments of Costume and Textiles, Decorative Arts and Design, Latin American Art, and Prints and Drawings, in addition to European Painting and Sculpture. The exhibition features 130 objects across a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, paper, decorative arts (such as ceramics, glass, and cork), tapestries, and costumes. Collectively, these works reveal the importance of Rome to artists and audiences operating in a variety of contexts from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment.
