Orientalist and Academic Exhibitions

While the Dahesh Museum is looking for a new permanent home for its collection of academic painting, it is loaning works to other museums.


The Joseph I. Lubin House at Syracuse University is currently exhibiting "In Pursuit of the Exotic: Artists Abroad in 19th Century Egypt and the Holy Land." The show will be up until April 30, 2009, and the museum is open Monday - Saturday, 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.

The other exhibition of work from the Dahesh is "Academic Allure: Art and Instruction in Nineteenth-Century Paris" at the Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery at Lebanon Valley College through April 19, 2009, link.

  1. What's that squiggle on the right side of the sky in that painting? It almost looks like an airplane contrail. Or maybe an early UFO sighting?

  2. It is a beautiful image, but the reflection of the pyramid is driving me crazy.

    It's one of the largest exhibits of his work in one place since 1978, so I'm making the trip since the math says it may be my last chance :)
