According to the museum, "Rico championed the technique of painting en plein air, famously painting while stationed in gondolas throughout the Venetian canals."
(Video link) The show is the fruit of a longstanding collaboration between the Meadows museum and the Prado in Madrid. It will continue through July 7.

James,
Thanks for the heads up. I live in the Dallas, Fort Worth area, and was not aware of this exhibit.
James,
I called the museum shop and they have the catalog available for order. I didn't know if you were aware one was available. Hopefully my copy should be arriving in the mail soon.

Thanks, Richard. Yes, thanks. They told me that the first printing of the catalog sold out and they're expecting the second printing soon. I haven't seen the catalog yet, but I'm expecting to do a blog review to spotlight it when I receive a copy.
