Art aficionados: Don’t miss a new exhibition of French masterpieces at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach. The exhibit, “The Triumph of French Painting: Masterpieces from Ingres to Matisse,” runs from Jan. 6 to March 11, 2001.

The magnificent selection of works is drawn from the collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Waters Art Gallery in Baltimore, Md.

The exhibit features 30 artists and over 55 paintings from the 19th and early 20th centuries – including works by Ingres, Delacroix, Corot, Millet, Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Picasso and Matisse.

Beginning with Neo-Classic and Romantic painting from the early part of the 19th Century, the exhibit explores Naturalism and Realism at mid-century, as well as the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Fauvist movements that herald the beginnings of 20th Century modernist work.
