Through January 4: Drawn to Drama: Italian Works on Paper 1500-1800 features Italian Old Master drawings by a wide range of artists including Giorgio Vasari, Guercino, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, Luca Giordano, and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Through telling juxtapositions focusing on such concepts as expression, gesture, and motion, the exhibition reveals the ways in which these artists used the human body for visual storytelling.
